Caprese Salad - Love This Salad !

OK - so we had yummy chocolate chip coolies yesterday -- did you try them?  Were they for you or someone else?  Or both?  

Today I am in the mood for a really good salad.  This is one of my favorites and I haven't had it in a long time.  Do you know of a place in the Phoenix Metro area that has a really, really good one?  I would love some input on this one.

If no one has a really good recommendation, I will have to go shopping -- nothing wrong with shopping ; )

Enjoy !
