Caprese Salad....with Pesto!

I love summer and grilling season, have I mentioned that yet? I also love caprese salad. I decided to make my own variation and make a homemade pesto instead of just using basil. It was delicious. Looking at the pictures makes me hungry....

*Combine the pesto ingredients in a food processor and chop until well blended. Lay tomatoes on a plate, top with mozzarella, and then spoon the pesto on top. Drizzle with olive oil, a little balsamic, and salt and pepper.
