Summer Caprices

"Caprice" refers to a sudden change of mood; "capriciousness" to a quality  found in human behaviors.  Now that it's Summer (or very nearly) it's time to change our menus and our palates to summer mode. 

Even though restaurants offer the traditional caprese (Italian spelling I think) of sliced tomato, mozzarella and basil all year around, summer is a time to be whimsical or so Bon Appetit says and offers these variations on the theme.

Grilled eggplant plus ricotta-salata plus dill

Peach plus burrata plus tarragon

Roasted red pepper plus feta plus chopped chives

Cantalope slices plus scamorza plus mint

I'd do my grocery shopping for any one of these in an Italian deli.  One with a huge selection of cheeses.  The Italians created the original; let them deal with the successors!
