I’m making this tonight for dinner. I looked for regular pesto in the grocery store but only found sun-dried tomato pesto before my short patience ran out. It actually turned out pretty well regardless! Well, we’ll see I suppose. The other opinion (the boyfriend) has yet to taste it.

I made this last night for me and my boyfriend, i mixed it with some lightly toasted bread and it was phenomenal. I can’t wait to have tiny bit of leftovers tonight! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I’ve never posted anything on your site before, even though I have tried some of the recipes and they were really good. But I’ve gotta tell you this is wonderful. I added artichoke and ate it with bread. I added some pasta to the rest of it and it is currently in the oven (not yet bubbly).

Thanks for the great recipes!

This is SO good! Tastes like summer. I made it with olive oil and fresh basil from my back yard and ate a huge bowl of it right away, but know it will be even better after the flavors blend. Be sure and tell us all your quick but tasty ideas; we are more likely to actually cook them. : )

I made this for my dinner and it is so so tasty. I had been making big batches of greek salad and i am completely sick of them for now. So this recipe came in just in time!!! I made it the exact way you did and its amazing.

I love the simple-throw-together ideas the best because i can run out and make it right away. keep them coming!! (ps i already made the roasted tomatos and onions one. also great)

Just found out about your site last night at a Labor Day picnic – she brought Peach cupcakes that were awesome and really different – found you today and can’t wait to use that fresh mozz I bought on Saturday to make a chopped hacked caprese salad. Love the idea of the white beans in there too. Will be looking forward to more really creative ideas!

omg. omg. omg. ok, i’m sitting here eating this and i had this sudden urge of jealousy. jealousy, why? because of the pending baby smitten arriving soon..thinking of all of the wonderful meals, creations, and spontenaity this little one will be enjoying? or because i can’t create any modicum of food genius without having a book open and pouring over the ingredients?? all of the above! this caprese concoction is AMAZING!!!! i can’t believe that i am eating tomatoes, and enjoying them. these flavors mesh so well, i am…smitten. a big thank you to alex for encouraging deb to share this creation with the rest of us who aren’t as creative with just casually, on a whim throwing genius together.

Thanks for this version! And please don’t filter all of your quick/easy meals — it’s great to have inspiration for the days that an afternoon of kitchen experimentation isn’t possible (though those days are lovely!). This looks like a great weekday lunch recipe!

There is never too much caprese! Thanks for the pesto and white beans suggestion. I’m a huge fan of mozzarella and tomatoes, but hadn’t thought of incorporating those ingredients. Excellent!
