What else can I make with these ingredients?
Instructions
- 1
Cut the tomatoes into thick round slices.
- 2
Slice the mozzarella to a similar thickness as the tomatoes.
- 3
Arrange the tomato and mozzarella slices overlapping on a serving plate.
- 4
Place the basil leaves between the slices.
- 5
Whisk the olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
- 6
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and serve immediately.
💡 Tip: Take the mozzarella out of the refrigerator and let it sit for 10 minutes at room temperature; very cold cheese mutes the aroma of the tomatoes.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve caprese on a wide flat plate as a summer starter, with toasted country bread and cold lemonade if desired.
