My recipe came from Italian culture.

Who is my mentor and what did I learn from my mentor:

I interviewed my Dad and he is half Italian. On warm summer days his Grandma would make Caprese Salad. It is served as an anti pasta or appetizer. Caprese salad originated on the Island of Capri, Italy and the colors were meant to resemble the Italian flag.I I really enjoyed learning about Caprese Salad.
