Christina, I’m a tomato aficionado. Your salad/appy/hors deovre is spectacular. Light taste but super fresh. We put it with a lasagna and Portuguese garlic bun. What a great meal. Thanks much for sharing.

Next time, I’ll omit the honey. Too sweet. And I’ll add the mozzarella for a single serving at a time. Not all at once.
Looks wonderful and I want to make it. At 1X how many does it serve?? I am looking to serve 40-45
Made this as an appetizer for Easter. It was a huge hit! So flavorful and a huge step up from your regular caprese.
