Description
This Caprese salad switches out tomatoes for seasonal plums and it couldn’t be more delicious and it takes less than five minutes to make. Sweet, tart, acidic seasonal plums, layered with creamy fresh mozzarella, extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, and a little sea salt make the perfect stand-in when tomatoes are out of season.
