When I'm running a lot of errands and have a hectic schedule for the day I prefer to keep my lunch on the lighter side. Certain foods just sit really well with me and let me continue to do my normal work without those nasty side effects that come with a carb-heavy meal in the middle of the day!
This Caprese salad is super simple and is actually really refreshing when you eat it. There aren't a lot of carbs, so it's a great way to avoid that mid-day crash!
Ingredients:
- Tomatoes (sliced)
- Fresh Mozzarella Cheese (sliced)
- Basil Leaves
- Olive Oil
- Balsamic Glaze
- Pinch of Salt
Preparation:
- Slice the tomatoes and cheese
- Sprinkle the basil leaves on top
- Add the olive oil
- Drizzle some balsamic glaze on there
- Add a pinch of salt (to your preference)
Do you typically eat a lighter lunch or a heavier one?

hi! Thanks! This version is a "low-carb" version!
preferably the foods we eat, foods that contain no cholesterol@gallerani
actually it depends on what kind of cholesterol you're eating! There's one called HDL and it is the good cholesterol that actually improves your health!
Yeah I actually made a post a while back aboutthe 2 types of cholesterol, it makes a big difference!
This looks so yummy
Hola galleni, gracias por tu receta, realmente no se si la haga en algún momento, me lo voy a proponer porque se ve deliciosa y muy sana, me encantan las ensaladas, son frescas y muy nutritivas, aunque te confieso que se muy poco de cantidades y colesterol y sus tipos, pero se mucho de comida rica y tú ensalada es una de ellas....
gracias por leer!!!
Saludos gallerani, si el artículo es bueno, siempre es un placer, sigue trabajando. Espero pronto ver tu nueva entrega.
Very healthy and rich recipe. There are so many variants of the recipe but they are all delicious.
I agree. I love these types of recipes where you can constantly tweak them and come up with new variations!
Nice
Thank you!
Looks extremely tasty and healthy! @gallerani
Not that complex to try out but a very healthy choice..The food contains nutritious fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes which is a good source of lycopene, antioxidant, vitamin A and potassium. Basil leaves contains phytonutrient and phytochemicals which scavenge free radicals from the body system. Lovely right.........
