Mozzarella and Tomato Salad
Caprese
Caprese
What is more refreshing and light for a summer lunch than a Caprese salad of fresh mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and tender basil leaves?
Italian cooking is all about simplicity and Insalata Caprese is the best example of this. You will not have the best Caprese Salad if you don’t use the best and freshest ingredients. Ripe but firm tomatoes; Fresh ‘young’ leaves of Italian basil (lemon basil sold in many markets can be confused with it); Fresh “Buffalo Mozzarella Cheese” can be found generally at the Italian delis all around the US (Italian buffalos are ‘water buffalos’ not bison); Caprese Salad also deserves the best of extra-virgin olive oil.

Insalata Caprese is a simple and tasty salad with the colors of the Italian flag: Enjoy it at its best!
