This version of caprese utilizes our newest sauce addition, Artichoke Basil Almond Pesto, in a flavorful balsamic vinaigrette. The earthy artichokes, aromatic basil, and nutty almonds make for a tasty pesto sauce combination. We double down on the garlic too, using our Garlic Balsamic and Roasted Garlic Champagne Mustard to really infuse this vinaigrette with flavor. We love the appearance these multi-colored heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil bring to this classic caprese. When dressed with this pesto vinaigrette, this dish just pops. Great for a group!
