Caprese with a Twist

What do you do when you realize that the fresh mozzarella is gone and your hubby is requesting a Caprese Salad for lunch? My solution was to put a spin on the traditional. Our garden is bursting with fresh basil so I shouldn’t run out of that anytime soon. I used crumbly buttermilk blue cheese in place of the traditional mozzarella and added some toasted walnuts. I ran out of dark balsamic vinegar so I substituted a white balsamic. The salad got two thumbs up!
