I came home from an hour gym class at GoodLife. The first 1/2 hour is ‘The Grit – Strength’ class. this is an amazing class. It builds your strength, cardio and muscles and of course endurance. I sweat so much in this 1/2 hour class compared to any other class at the gym.
I also did another 1/2 hour of Body Pump class afterward. Then I showered and walked home. On the way home, I was so hungry but I felt like having something healthy like salad. So I dropped by Metro to get the ingredients for Caprese Salad.
It was amazingly delicious and so easy to make. It doesn’t take long to make either.
I normally wash all my fruits and vegetables with mix of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water. I sprayed the grape tomatoes and basil with the mix of white vinegar and left there for a few seconds before i rinsed it off.
Then I start preparing and making the Caprese Salad. Please see below for the quick and easy recipe.
