Caprese salad

A favorite simple side dish, salad or appetizer!


~ Insalata Caprese ~ Tomatoes, Basil and Mozzarella Cheese.


Fresh ingredients of soft mozzarella cheese, basil & tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

I usually prefer to use roma tomatoes, however many garden varieties of tomatoes are perfect right now, and if you’re growing your own basil this is a great use for it too!



We enjoy a drizzle of balsamic vinegar or a simple drizzle of olive oil is good also, or use both for added flavor. And salt & pepper.



So easy to prepare. Arrange sliced tomatoes and mozzarella on a plate or platter and then tuck basil leaves in between, drizzle with balsamic vinegar/olive oil, serve immediately!



I’ve shared two differently styled ideas for serving.

Serve this as an appetizer or a side to your meal. A good anytime dish and so perfect for summer. We love it and think it’s delicious!


~ Enjoy!
