Caprese Salad

The perfect Caprese Salad recipe! Layered with juicy fresh tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, deliciously flavorful fresh basil, and it's finished with rich extra virgin olive oil, and a mildly sweet and tangy balsamic reduction.

Talk about tempting!

Fresh Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze

The traditional Italian caprese salad (pronounced "cah-preh-zseh") is typically made with just tomatoes, basil, mozzarella and olive oil but I love the addition of a balsamic reduction. It adds so much flavor!

Once you try it this way you'll never look back.

It's unbelievably easy to make and only requires a handful of basic ingredients. And you can serve it as an appetizer or side dish.

Sometimes it's the simple, most humble ingredients and methods that create the most delicious dishes, and this caprese salad is proof of that.

Who could resist these layers of flavor paired with a pattern of impressive, eye catching colors?

I think we could eat this every week for the rest of our lives and never get tired of it!
