What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Food Whisperer: Uber Hasselback Caprese Salad! Want to do something fancy-schmancy? Take ordinary garden Roma tomatoes (the oval kind) and cut them in such a way that they fan out a little bit like an accordion. Then, using your fingers, tuck slices of cheese and fresh herbs in between. It’s so simple, yet looks incredibly delish as a side salad. This is why we like food so much. It becomes a dining experience versus chowing down.
UBER HASSELBACK CAPRESE SALAD
Ingredients:
3 Roma tomatoes
3 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
13-16 fresh basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon Everything But Bagel seasoning
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinaigrette
Instructions:
Judging by the size of each tomato, make 4-5 slices, stopping before the knife cuts completely through. Transfer tomatoes to a serving dish. Fill each slit with a mozzarella slice. Tuck in spaces with fresh basil leaves. Sprinkle Everything But Bagel seasoning over all. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette.
Yummy!

I make something similar with the tiny mozarella balls/cherry tomatoes and basil leaves. I will have to try it with everything but bagel seasoning…
