Caprese Salad with CucumbersCaprese salad is one of my favorite summertime dishes but it can be a refreshing side for fall or winter dinner. I marinated cucumbers to give it some more crunch and substance. It was well received when I brought it to a pasta dinner recently.

  7. Julianne fresh basil leaves and add to the salad. Add more oil/vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. If the resulting salad is too wet, you can pour off some of the liquid before serving.
