Caprese (italian salad)



So, I decided to start my delicious blog from my favourite salad, it's italian one. Caprese is so easy but so tasty!!

INFO:Insalata Caprese (salad in the style of Capri) is a simple salad from the Italian region of Campania, made of sliced fresh buffalo mozzarella, plum tomatoes and basil. It is seasoned with salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Some variations include adding chopped garlic, parsley, and various sauces. (Balsamic Vinegar, Italian Dressing, etc.)This dish is also known as a Tricolore salad due to its three colours, which mimic the Italian flag.


Classic Italian Caprese Salad
4 medium tomatoes, cut into thick slices
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1 cup mozzarella cheese, sliced

This salad can be arrange on one larger plate or on individual serving plates.

Arrange tomato slices in a circle around the plate, then overlapping towards the center. As you are laying out the tomatoes, place a thin slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each slice of tomato. Place a whole basil leaf on top of the mozzarella cheese. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Lightly drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the salad.
