Description
Featuring caramelized tomatoes and onions, this extravagant yet simple Caprese Tower recipe is full of robust, savory flavor. Layering thin slices of toasted bread with caramelized onions and tomatoes, this Caprese Tower is completed with the addition of fresh mozzarella cheese, pesto, arugula, and spinach for a deconstructed caprese bruschetta salad that will have your tastebuds dancing with delight. We recommend using a red pesto, but you can also use a green pesto with satisfactory results.
