Roasted Tomato & Arugula Salad

Your typical caprese salad is made of tomato, basil, and mozzerella, but considering its so hard to keep fresh basil... well fresh, I used arugula.













Roasted Tomato & Arugula Caprese Twist
  • 1 Ripe Tomato
  • Olive Oil
  • Salt/Pepper to taste
  • Fresh Mozzerella
  • Handful of Arugula
Preheat oven to 375. Slice tomato in half and remove the seeds. Place in non stick pan w/ tomato skin side down. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 20-25 mins. Remove from oven.

Slice the cheese to your desired thickness. Mine is 0.25" or 6mm. Once you have 3 pieces, set aside and get ready to layer. 

1st. Cheese, 2nd. Tomato, 3rd. Arugula ... repeat ...7th. Cheese

Drizzle a little more olive oil. Season with a pinch of Salt. Have a good time eating.

Some optional items: 
Add grilled chicken in between (I used left over spareribs from Sunday). 
Season each layer with salt and pepper
