Episode 111 - Wild and Wacky Fun
Segment #3 - Cedar Plank Salmon and Caprese Salad
Recipe - Caprese Stacked Salad

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

  • 4 clean 7 oz. soup cans with both ends removed
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 2–3 firm medium tomatoes, sliced
  • 2–3 balls of fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 12 slices
  • 2 cups prepared couscous mixed with 2 tablespoons Italian dressing or prepared pesto
  • Fresh basil or parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

LET'S GET STARTED:

  1. Spray the four soup cans with the non-stick spray.   Set each can on end on a salad plate.
  2. Trim the tomato and cheese slices to fit the interior of a can, then place the individual portions in layers inside the can as follows: a tomato slice, 2 tablespoons of couscous mixture, and a cheese slice.   Repeat twice or until can is full.
  3. Press to compact the layers.   Cover with plastic wrap and tap mixture with a jar or can slightly smaller than the opening of the can.   Remove plastic wrap and carefully lift can to reveal the layered salad.   Garnish with a fresh basil leaf or sprig of parsley.
