Tomatoes might be the traditional fruit for a caprese salad, but strawberries are a summer fruit that also shines when paired with mozzarella, basil, and balsamic vinegar. Strawberries add a dessert-like layer in Chef Christina Machamer’s rendition of this Mediterranean-inspired salad. The perfect appetizer for a summer party or salad course, this strawberry caprese recipe pairs perfectly with Frank Family’s Lewis Vineyard Chardonnay<\/a> which can easily stand up to the sweetness of the strawberry and to acidity of the heirloom tomatoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    *Moscatel vinegar is a type of sherry vinegar made from dessert wine grapes and aged for 2 years in Oak.\u00a0When in doubt, Sherry vinegar is a great substitute, but the complexity of this vinegar is unmatched.\u00a0You can find it at specialty stores or on Amazon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
