In Italian it is Insalata Caprese and it happens to be one of the most simple and delicious salads to make.
It consists of only a handful of ingredients:
The freshest tomatoes you can find, and sliced any way you like,
fresh mozarella (buffalo mozarella is traditional in Italy, and has a higher fat content)
and fresh basil.
That is it, it is really that simple.
Of course to dress your salad the way it is done in Italy, you need to pour on the highest quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil that you can find. Why? It is all about the flavor! You should also choose the best *Balsamic Vinegar which comes from Modena, (the more aged, the more sweet and mellow and also expensive). Finally you add a pinch of salt. You can also garnish your salad with dried basil if you like.
The flavors of this salad really Pop! Make this salad today, your mouth will thank you.
Buon Appetito!
