Classic Caprese salad with mozzarella

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Italian classic Caprese salad with mozzarella? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Choose tomatoes that are juicy but firm. Soft fruits do not hold their shape well; during the cutting process they can spread into a shapeless mass and ruin the appearance of the dish. Instead of vinegar, you can use balsamic cream sauce. It is more viscous in consistency and soft in taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Wash the tomatoes, dry and cut into thin slices.

3. STEP 3

   

   Remove the mozzarella ball from the brine, dry and cut into thin slices. The thinner you cut it, the tastier the salad will be. In general, thin cutting means a lot for this salad.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place slices of tomatoes, mozzarella and basil leaves on the dish, slightly overlapping, alternating. You can lay it like mine, or you can lay it in a circle.

5. STEP 5

   

   Drizzle everything with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste. Caprese salad is ready. Bon appetit!

Thanks for the recipe! 😘🌷This is the first time I’ve made such a salad myself😊I didn’t have balsamic vinegar and olive oil at home, so I mixed regular vinegar (1/2 tbsp) with soy sauce (1 tbsp) and poured it with refined, regular sunflower oil 🤭 And basil I don’t have green))) It turned out to be a delicious salad!!!😋👍
