SMILING CAPRESE SALAD



Smiling Caprese Salad image

This no doubt is the easiest Caprese salad I have ever made, and it will make your guest smile! It screams delicious, plus you can make ahead of time which is something we all want more of. When making, you can also add all ingredients to a large resealable plastic bag. Mix and then pour into your serving bowls/glasses. Serve in a fun type of tall stem glass like a martini glass with some crostini on the side.

CAPRESE SALAD



Caprese Salad image

"Salad of Capri" is a wonderful yet simple salad made by layering seasonal tomatoes, fresh mozzarella and basil leaves. It is traditionally flavored with fine olive oil and a little salt to preserve the pure flavors of its fresh ingredients (my personal favorite). You can also use a lite balsamic vinaigrette instead. Either way, finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. You will be amazed with the magic balsamic glaze brings to this dish.

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 -5 flavor intense seasonal tomatoes
1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese
30 fresh basil leaves
1/4 tablespoon fine olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup balsamic glaze (homemade or store bought)

Steps:

  • Core and cut tomatoes vertically into 1/4 inches' thick slices. If not pre-sliced, cut fresh mozzarella into 18 equal slices.
  • Assemble (using the largest diameter slices first), place one slice of tomatoes on each plate followed by a slice of mozzarella and a basil leaf. Repeat, by adding another slice of tomatoes, a basil leaf and another slice of cheese, basil and tomatoes, etc.
  • Spoon a light coating of olive oil and very lightly salt. Finish with healthy drizzle of balsamic glaze.
  • Important, use fresh mozzarella in brine sold either at the deli counter or in vacuum sealed packages. Fresh mozzarella is not the same as "Buffalo Mozzarella". True Italian Buffalo Mozzarella is traditionally made from buffalo milk. It is sold as "Mozzarella di Bufala Campana" and is certified and protected. It is also welcomed in this salad.
