Mini Caprese Puff Pastry Tarts

February 3, 2018 By Becky Hardin Leave a Comment

I’m a big believer that sometimes the best and tastiest recipes are the simplest.  This recipe is solid proof on that being true.

Mini Caprese Tarts! Mini bites of heaven with basil, balasmic, tomato, and mozzarella. YUM!We were looking for a simple and delicious appetizer to make for our first Valentine’s dinner as a married couple.  In the past we have always gone out, but this year is different.  This year we are finally married, finally own a home together, and are saving  money for a deck! 🙂  I don’t want our dinner at home to be lacking in any way, and these appetizers will add the perfect romantic, tasty, and easy touch to the meal!

I’m not a fan of mayo so I’ve always been one to miss out on summer side dishes like pasta salad and potato salad. It’s just one of those things I’ve come to accept and don’t worry too much about anymore. But, the other day my husband and I were out to lunch and he ordered a caprese pasta salad. Y’all have to understand that anything with mozzarella and tomatoes is my default choice at a restaurant. So I knew I had to try it. Luckily this particular blend was made without mayo and after only one bite I knew I had to recreate it and see if I could make a pasta salad dish I’d actually enjoy!
