Easy Caprese Salad

I made this easy caprese salad for my mom's 60th birthday party.  You can find out more about her cuteness Kate Spade themed surprise birthday party here.

Ingredients 

• Cherry tomatoes 
• 4 mozzarella string cheese sticks
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing (use more or less depending on how many tomatoes you are using.  I typically just pour it out of the dressing bottle without measuring and just give it all a decent coating of dressing).  
• 1/4 cup of fresh basil 

Directions

1.  Put tomatoes in a large bowl.  (Feel free to cut each tomato in half if you desire). 

2.  Cut mozzarella cheese sticks in about half inch chunks

3.  Drizzle the balsamic vinaigrette dressing across the entire contents.

4.  Using a spoon, toss the mozzarella cheese and the tomatoes together in the dressing.

5.  Cut or shred the fresh basil and garnish on top.
