Caprese Salad Bruschetta
Caprese salad is a classic Italian dish that is made with fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. This version of caprese salad is made with keto bread, which is a low-carb bread that is made with almond flour and coconut flour. The keto bread slices are toasted and then topped with the tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. The salad is then drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and seasoned with salt and pepper. This salad is a delicious and refreshing way to enjoy the flavors of caprese salad without the carbs.
Caprese salad is named after the Italian island of Capri, where it is said to have originated. The salad is thought to have been created in the early 1900s by a local fisherman who wanted to impress a visiting dignitary. The fisherman used the freshest ingredients he could find, which were tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil. The dignitary was so impressed by the salad that he asked for the recipe, and the salad quickly became a popular dish on Capri. Caprese salad is now a classic Italian dish that is enjoyed all over the world.
