Caprese Pasta Salad - Salad with Tomatoes and Basil

This pasta salad has all the elements of the traditional Italian caprese salad (plus some capers). I Shirataki noodles on low-carb. Believe it or not, throw a handful of nuts or chopped nuts makes a nice addition.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package Shirataki noodles (or other pasta) - it makes about 3 servings
  • 1 cup chopped basil
  • 1 medium tomato, chopped
  • Cut 3 ounces mozzarella cheese into small cubes
  • 1 tablespoon capers
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Preparation:

Rinse Shirataki noodles thoroughly with warm water, or prepare other low carb pasta (such as Dreamfields). Add the hot pasta in combination with other ingredients can be mixed flavors somewhat. I like to cut the Shirataki noodles with long practical kitchen scissors.

Mix together all ingredients. From three small portions as a side dish.
