Step 1
Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 2
Similarly, slice the fresh mozzarella cheese into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
Step 3
Arrange the tomato and mozzarella slices on a serving platter, alternating them and slightly overlapping for a visually appealing presentation.
Step 4
Tuck fresh basil leaves between the tomato and mozzarella slices. You can use whole leaves or tear them into smaller pieces, depending on your preference.
Step 5
Drizzle extra-virgin olive oil over the salad. Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavour
Step 6
Optionally, you can add a few drops of balsamic vinegar for extra flavour, but traditional Caprese salad doesn’t always include this.
Step 7
Season the salad with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 8
If desired, drizzle a little balsamic glaze over the top of the salad for added sweetness and decoration.
Step 9
Serve the Caprese Salad immediately as a refreshing appetiser or side dish.
