Are you into Italian dinners at your home? We are, especially when hosting. You can never go wrong with them and people always leave impressed, and that’s all that matters 🙂

Arugula Caprese Salad on a plate

This salad is so simple. It’s light, but filing at the same time. I was inspired by one of the YouTube vlogs I was watching, can’t remember which one it was. I am glad I bummed into this idea.

My exact quote to husband – “I just want to say that this salad is so bomb, even after it sit for a little while.” Yep, not sure about the next day, but after a couple hours it was still wonderful.
