Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 3 large Tomatoes
  • 8 oz Fresh Mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup Fresh Basil Leaves

Dressing

  • 2 tbsp Balsamic Glaze or to taste
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil optional

Seasoning

  • 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper or to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Slice the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella into similarly sized rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Arrange the sliced tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil leaves on a plate or serving platter, alternating them to create an appealing pattern.

Dressing and Serving

  • Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the arranged salad.
  • Optionally, drizzle with a small amount of extra virgin olive oil for added richness.
  • Season the Caprese salad with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your preference, then serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use ripe, in-season tomatoes. You can also add a sprinkle of fresh oregano or a pesto drizzle for an extra layer of flavor. If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar until it thickens.
