I always loved Caprese but when I went dairy free I stopped thinking about it. But - I had a tofu Caprese at a fund raiser and I just had to figure out how to make it. Turns out to be easy - just press the tofu for an hour and pour on a little white balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and chopped basil. Oh, YUM!
