MOZZARELLA AND TOMATO APPETIZER TRAY

Mozzarella and Tomato Appetizer Tray image

I had to make something for a work function, so I created this simple platter of mozzarella and tomato slices topped with roasted red peppers and an herb mixture. Serve chilled with toothpicks or bread slices. Omit the capers or add black olives as desired.
