Share:
Ingredients
- 2 medium cucumbers about 1 ½ lbs. or 645g
- 16 oz. mozzarella cheese sliced
- 1-2 teaspoons balsamic glaze
- 2-3 fresh basil leaves
Instructions
- Prepare the cucumbers. Wash, dry and peel the skins from the cucumbers. If using an English cucumber, you do not have to remove the skins.
- Slice the cucumbers into thin rounds.
- Slice the mozzarella into rounds, if necessary.
- Layer the cucumbers and mozzarella together on a platter. Use your creativity to arrange them in a way you see fit.
- Add the balsamic glaze. Drizzle it over the salad to where each bite has a little glaze.
- Garnish with fresh basil. Tear it apart with your fingers and scatter it on top of the cucumber caprese salad.
- Serve and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- Use the cucumbers you’ve got on hand! We’ve made this recipe with cucumbers we grew ourselves, as well as English cucumbers from the store. Both work!
- Add tomatoes… if you love ‘em! While this rendition of the classic does not call for tomatoes, you could add them to the recipe! Tomatoes and cucumbers play well together and pair beautifully with the mozzarella, too.
- Make it bite-sized. Instead of layering it like I did in these photos, use mozzarella pearls and place a single pearl on top of each cucumber round. You’ll need a few serving platters and more basil, but this isa great way to feed a crowd this cucumber appetizer recipe!
