Lewis Station Winery builds record-setting caprese salad featuring 35 pounds of mozzarella
The mozzarella was sourced from Crave Brothers Farmstead Cheese.
On Aug. 9, Chef Jason Dunn of Lewis Station Winery, Lake Mills, Wis., and four assistants built a U.S. record-breaking 32-foot-long caprese salad. Made with fresh Wisconsin ingredients, the salad included 35 pounds of award-winning fresh mozzarella from Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics, Waterloo, Wis. The salad also featured 34 quarts of locally sourced tomatoes, 3 pounds of locally grown basil (four different types), 2 quarts of olive oil and 1 quart of balsamic vinegar, Crave Brothers said.
“The previous caprese salad record-holder was a 24-foot-long version, made in San Diego,” Dunn said.
