Caprese Salad
Fresh tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fragrant basil come together in this vibrant Caprese salad. Perfectly delicious!
Ingredients
- 1.2 kg ripe tomatoes
- 800 g mozzarella
- 2 bunches fresh basil
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp fine salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
How to make it
- Slice the tomatoes into even rounds and cut the mozzarella into slices of the same thickness so the layers will sit neatly together.
- Arrange the tomato slices and mozzarella slices on a large serving plate in overlapping rows, alternating red and white.
- Tuck whole basil leaves between and over the slices so the green stays visible.
- Sprinkle the fine salt evenly over the tomatoes and mozzarella, then dust with the black pepper.
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the top so it catches on the tomato surfaces and the mozzarella.
- Serve immediately on a wide plate, with the salad arranged as a simple layered pattern and the basil leaves left whole on top.
