How do the flavors change when they are combined? Talk about your favorite part of the salad with a friend or family member.
Grow Your Own Basil: Ask an adult to help you plant some basil seeds in a small pot. Watch how the basil grows over time. Once it’s big enough, you can use your very own basil leaves to make another Caprese salad. How does it feel to eat something you grew yourself?
