A simple Caprese salad. Yet, when deconstructed, the Caprese salad is actually a wonder in itself - a combination of chewy Mozzarella with juicy, fresh tomatoes dripping with the tangy sophistication of balsamic vinegar and olive oil, sprinkled with pepper and made fragrant with basil leaves. Simplicity concealing brilliance is the essence of what healthy food should be, and it seems to me the essence of all the memorable food I had in Boston’s restaurant week.
