When the garden is overflowing with tomatoes and basil, make this twist on the classic caprese. This is a perfect no-cook summer meal for two, served with crusty bread or a colorful late-summer appetizer. It’s also the perfect time to splurge on the best imported San Daniele Prosciutto.

Ingredients:

1/2 cup basil pesto*
1 Tbsp Metropolitan Market Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tbsp white wine vinegar
2 medium heirloom tomatoes, cored and sliced into rounds
1 ball Metropolitan Market fresh mozzarella, sliced into rounds
Basil leaves
4 oz package Metropolitan Market prosciutto
Flaky sea salt

Directions:

In a small bowl, stir together pesto, olive oil, vinegar, and 1 Tbsp water.
Arrange tomato, mozzarella, and basil leaves on a platter in a circular pattern, overlapping slices, and leaving the center open. Tuck prosciutto slices into the center.
Drizzle pesto vinaigrette over tomatoes and mozzarella and season with salt.
*Purchase pesto from the Metropolitan Market olive bar or make by blending together 2 cups basil, 1 garlic clove, 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/3 cup pine nuts, 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, and 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice in a food processor; season to taste with salt.
