Kitchen Tips and Resources:

  • My knife skills are pretty good, but I prefer to use a tomato slicer to get perfect, similarly-sized slices of tomatoes for my Caprese Salad.
  • A white, rectangular platter makes is a perfect way to present your Caprese Salad for family or guests! There are tons of different options out there but here are some similar to the one I use: Target, Crate & Barrel, or Pottery Barn.
