Traditional Caprese Salad

Serving Size

1-2

Ingredients

  • 4 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • Optional: 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste

Directions

  • Slice the mozzarella into even rounds, rinse and halve the cherry tomatoes, and gently tear the basil leaves for a fresh, aromatic touch.
  • Arrange the mozzarella slices and tomato halves on a plate, alternating between them, then scatter the torn basil leaves over the top.
  • Drizzle balsamic vinegar evenly over the salad. For extra richness, add a drizzle of olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy fresh, or chill briefly before eating for a refreshing twist.

Notes

Pairing suggestion: Serve alongside whole-grain bread or with a side of avocado for extra healthy fats. Storage tip: If prepping ahead, store ingredients separately to keep the basil fresh and the mozzarella from becoming soggy.
