CAPRESE SALAD WITH WALNUT PESTO



Caprese Salad With Walnut Pesto image

Simple, but elegant side dish. Goes good with Simple Shrimp Cakes. The first 6 ingredients are for the Olive Oil & Walnut Pesto. Two cups of fresh basil leaves are needed (don't know why "0" comes through), in addition to chopped walnuts, grated parmesan, olive oil, lemon juice and chopped garlic.

PESTO PASTA CAPRESE SALAD



Pesto Pasta Caprese Salad image

The traditional Caprese salad is modified to pasta form. The mozzarella used is a fresh mozzarella, if you use the brick style, it will not be the same. If you can't find the pearlini mozzarella, use the cieglini and cut it in half. Regular rotini pasta can be used but the cooking time will be different.
