    Introducing one of my favorite simple salad recipes. This tomato, basil, and mozzarella Caprese salad is an easy summer favorite our whole family loves. We make it often in the summertime when our tomatoes are in season. This classic Italian dish is light, flavorful, and delicious!

    Classic Caprese Salad

    This appetizer (or side dish) really couldn’t be any easier. All it requires is some slicing, arranging, and herb sprinkling. Known in Italy as insalata caprese, no one’s quite sure where it originated, though it’s thought to have started on the Island of Capri. Others have noted it’s patriotic resemblance to the Italian flag. However it came about though, this herbed tomato salad is oh so good!

    It’s quick to put together but still looks impressive, making it perfect for a weeknight dinner or your next BBQ.

    I often find that the simplest recipes are sometimes the most delicious. Especially when they take advantage of seasonal produce. Few things taste better than a truly fresh peach, tomato, or salad right after they’re picked.

    Caprese Ingredients

    Since the ingredients are simple, there isn’t much to hide behind when it comes to caprese. Watery, rubbery tomatoes won’t taste very good here. I like using homegrown tomatoes or heirloom tomatoes from the farmer’s market for the best caprese salad. Some freshly ground black pepper and flaky sea salt or kosher salt really help bring out the flavors of the tomato. Any good quality salt will work though.

    I like the salad plain, but you can also add a balsamic reduction (aka balsamic vinegar glaze) or vinaigrette drizzle. Make it a meal and add some grilled chicken on the side!

    For a fun variation try individual caprese salad skewers. Thread grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes onto skewers with basil leaves and mozzarella balls in between.
