Ingredients

Caprese

  • 1/2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 pinch of chilli flakes, optional
  • 1/4 red onion, finely diced
  • 1/2 pack mozzarella balls, cut in half lengthways
  • 1 tomato, diced 1cm

Greens

  • 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 asparagus, ends trimmed
  • 1/2 tsp oil
  • 1/4 courgette, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 broccoli, cut into small florets

To Serve

  • 1/2 Tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1/2 bunch basil, leaves separated

Steps

  1. Preheat BBQ grill to medium-high (if using).

  3. Dice tomatoes and onion and halve mozzarella. Toss together in a medium bowl with chilli flakes, olive oil and a pinch of salt. Set aside.
