Caprese Salad
Method
Prepare the ingredients: Wash the tomatoes and basil leaves thoroughly. Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella into even rounds to ensure a balanced presentation and flavor.
Layer the salad: On a large serving plate, alternate slices of tomato and mozzarella, slightly overlapping them to form a beautiful arrangement. Tuck a basil leaf between each layer.
Dress the salad: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the layers, ensuring each slice is coated lightly. Follow with the balsamic glaze, creating a decorative pattern for visual appeal.
Season and garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the entire salad. Add extra basil leaves as garnish for a fresh and fragrant finish.
Serve: Let the salad sit for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, then serve immediately as a delightful appetizer or side dish.
