Caprese Salad
Caprese Salad
A classic Italian salad of alternating slices of buffalo mozzarella and ripe tomato, layered with fresh basil and finished with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Creamy, juicy, and bright, it asks almost nothing of the cook and rewards good ingredients. Light enough to open a meal, substantial enough to stand as a simple lunch for two.
