Caprese Salad Wraps

If I could think of one dish that I make all the time in the summer it’s caprese. I always look forward to pairing juicy tomatoes with creamy mozzarella and fresh basil from my garden. These wraps are a perfectly portable way to enjoy those flavors on-the-go or on your next outdoor adventure. If prepping ahead, cover each wrap tightly with plastic wrap and store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to eat.

  1. Slice tomatoes and place on paper towels to drain.
