Caprese Salad Recipe
Caprese salad is an easy but delicious way to complement dinner. The original Caprese is made of sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and green basil, seasoned with salt and olive oil. The best part is it take less than 10 minutes to make.
The key to a great Caprese is to find a high quality cheese, ideally Buffalo mozzarella. Yes, it might be a bit more expensive but the difference in flavor is worth it.
