Caprese Salad
Yields: 4 servings
This caprese salad is full of juicy tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil leaves drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a simple and delicious summer side dish!
Ingredients
- 3 large tomatoes, sliced
- 1 (8-ounce) ball fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- Handful of fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon (14 g) olive oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) balsamic vinegar or balsamic reduction
- Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Add a slice of tomato to a plate, then add a slice of mozzarella on top followed by a basil leaf. Keep alternating until the ingredients are used up. (The stacks can half cover each other or you can arrange them next to each other.)
- Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar or balsamic reduction. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
Notes
TOMATO SIZE NOTE: For the recipe photos, I used cherry tomatoes and cut the mozzarella into smaller pieces to match. If you want to use cherry tomatoes, you’ll need about 12 to 15 of them.
