Let's move towards the task

1 - Make a "Caprese Salad"; you can follow the one presented in this course or a recipe of your choice (details include utensils, ingredients, and step-by-step instructions).

I'm making first time this salad so I'm following the same recipe that given by teacher.

Base ingredients :
2 tomatoes
100g of cheese
1 handful of lettuce in place of basil

Pepper to taste

Making:

• Take out all ingredients. Wash all veggie properly and dry them before making salad.

• Take red hard tomatoes for salad . Cut slices of tomato of equal width so salad looks uniform.

• I take mozzarella cheese slices and cut them in circle shape. You can you other cheese too of your choice.

• Now, take a clean and dry platter for salad decoration ans arrange lettuce, cheese and tomato alternate. It give beautiful color combination.to the salad.

• Spread 1/2 tsp of Balsamic vinegar over salad and 1/2 tsp of olive oil over salad. I used less than 1/2 tspnof sugar as my kids don't like taste of vinegar. You can use it according to your taste.

• Sprinkle 1 pinch of salt and two pinch of black pepper to add good taste to it.

• Delicious salad is ready to enjoy.

2 - Have you tried a Caprese salad before? Tell us about the flavor of your salad? Did it meet your expectations?

I haven't tried Caprese Salad before because in my area basil leaves are not available. Only tried leaves available that can't be used in salad. I replaced basil leaves with lettuce so in presentation its quite good and appealing, everyone like its presentation in my home ,I was not expecting before making that it truns out good. I don't know actual taste of basil leaves but lettuce gives it a leafy crunchy flavour to salad and its taste is really very good. I really like this delicious salad.
