I love caprese, but never thought to add cucumber. Thanks!
I think I've had this before and it was pretty good, but I never got the recipe - thanks for sharing!
This sound so delicious! Especially with all the wonderful fresh produce out now!
Oh. Yummy. We love tomatoes at our house. My little girl eats them as if it was fruit.
Oh my! This looks delish and I think it will make its way onto my table tonight with our spaghetti and french bread. Anything with fresh mozzarella and basil is divine to me. Our homegrown tomatoes are just starting to ripen so this will be especially yummy.
Thanks so much for sharing.

Oh thank you!
One of my sons is due home and he will love this.
I'll substitute the mozzarella, because I have none and the shops are closed.
Thank you very much!
Hmmm, I never thought of adding a cumcumber - we'll have to try this. I love caprese salads!
This does sound good!!!
This sounds awesome and it is so cute looking!
I love the sounds of this dish! It seems perfect for summer. :)
Thanks so much, Julie, for participating in my Favorite Ingredients Friday Salads Edition recipe exchange. I do appreciate it.
