Caprese Salad {with a twist}

Happy Tuesday!

I won’t begin by asking about your day. I am sure it’s fabulous to most of you, Apple fans out there. The iPhone 4S announcement is out, that crashed Apple.com. Do I need to say anything else?

For those of you sober phone addicts, thanks for listening to my antics.

I have a huge problem with weather. As if you don’t know already, I complain too much about weather.

You are probably sick of my complaining about summer.

You are probably thinking assuming, I am easing you into another earful about how much I hate the sweltering hot weather in Florida.

You are probably thinking, “why can’t she just skip to the recipe instead of trying to be a weather reporter or a novel writer of sort?”

Hmmph!

I’ll cut to the chase. I am guilty as charged. Garnered I’ve constantly complained about the weather all summer long, but I can’t stop thinking about summer produce ever since fall officially changed the season.

I can’t stop thinking about how much I would miss buying boat-loads of fresh tomatoes, berries and chugging copious amounts of delicious strawberry lemonade, all day long.

I can’t stop thinking about colorful blooms that brightens our days. Fall literally takes away the beauty of summer.

Ok, so admittedly I am just being a baby about fall. Or the weather, in general.

But before you beat me up, look at how sad those tomatoes are? And the nerve I have, displaying it as food prop? Not only I am beating up myself about the weather, but tomatoes are beating up themselves too! By the way, in case you didn’t get it – that was meant as a pun.

In honor of preserving what is left of summer, I present to you:

Caprese Salad with a disguised fellow.

And that fellow, my friends – is a Paneer.

How is the weather in your neck of woods? Are you willing to let go of summer, just yet?

Bon Appétit!
