Author Notes
On a recent trip to the grocery store, I saw a package of smoked mozzarella that peaked my interest. A traditional Caprese salad is made of mozzarella, tomatoes, sweet basil, and olive oil…but Tynette’s Caprese salad? Oh, Tynette’s Caprese salad has smoked mozzarella, a red wine balsamic dressing with a little bit of liquid smoke, and heirloom tomatoes, baby. Adding a subtle Texas smoke to a traditional Italian dish. —dreadheadd
