Who’s ready for some Basil Chutney & Caprese Panini’s??!?! I know I am… l o l. 

After leaving Italy, my craving for mozzarella cheese is unreal. Nothing beats a good caprese salad… I mean NOTHING. And if you know me, you know that’s the only type of salad you’ll catch me eating!

You best believe that this sandwich is going to have a kick to it, like most of my recipes do! Gotta have some spice, and it’s all in the basil chutney! For those of you know, green chutney is traditionally made with cilantro.  However, I made it basically the same way, but swapped the cilantro with basil… and it WORKS. 

It’s so mouth watering good! I had this Basil Chutney & Caprese Panini 3 days in a row- no joke 😉 The crunchy bite from the panini, with the melted mozz cheese, splash of flavor from the tomato and freshness from the chutney is UNREAL.

Please make it this weekend and always remember to tag me in any photos or stories so I can see your lovely creations!!! Thanks so much and enjoy friends!
