Ingredients
- 5-6 medium tomatoes sliced
- 8.8 oz or 250 grams fresh mozzarella
- 16-20 fresh basil leaves
- 1-2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/2 tsp finishing salt like Maldon, or to taste
- 1 tsp balsamic glaze sweetened reduced balsamic vinegar, optional
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella into slices of roughly equal thickness (about 1 cm or 0.4 inch).
- Assemble the Caprese salad by alternating a slice of tomato, a slice of mozzarella, and a basil leaf.
- Drizzle (high-quality) extra-virgin olive oil on the Caprese salad and sprinkle the finishing salt (we used about 1/2 teaspoon of Maldon flaky sea salt).
(Optional) To add some rich, sweet notes to the dish, finish it with a drizzle of balsamic glaze (sweetened reduced balsamic vinegar).
