What could be better than a lovely Caprese salad? Likely there are more complicated things in life but purity triumphs when we’re short on time.
Ingredients
- 1 slice / 30g Fresh mozzarella
- 1 slice / 30g Tomato
- 1 bunch / 3g Fresh basil leaf
- 1 teaspoon / 15ml Extra virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
How to make Caprese salad
- Cut a slice from the fresh mozzarella cheese.
- Cut a slice of tomato that is similar in size and width to the mozzarella.
- Fresh basil is essential for this dish. If we haven’t got huge leaves just use more smaller ones.
- A drizzle of olive oil will bind everything together. It’s as essential as the basil and as it is with good olive oil, the more expensive the better.
Enjoy!
Note: It’s not recommended to make them well ahead as the mozzarella will seep liquid out and ruin our plating. A couple of minutes will be fine but anything over half an hour is risky, especially at room temperature.
F.A.Q.
What is good to serve with Caprese salad?
