Fresh Caprese Salad Recipe
A good Caprese salad is all about letting a few fresh ingredients shine. When tomatoes are sweet and the mozzarella is soft and creamy, you barely need to do anything. It’s a quick dish that works as a starter, a light lunch, or something to set on the table when you want food that feels effortless but still special.
Ingredients
Method
- Arrange the tomato slices on a plate, giving them a little space so they do not overlap too much.
- Add the mozzarella slices, alternating with the tomatoes for a simple layered look.
- Tuck whole basil leaves between the layers or scatter them over the top.
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over everything, then add a light drizzle of balsamic glaze.
- Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Serve right away while the tomatoes are juicy and the cheese is cool and soft.
