Easy 5 Minutes Caprese Salad Recipe

🌿A traditional Italian meal, Caprese salad combines fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, basil leaves, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar in a light and pleasant way. It comes from the Isle of Capri and is elegantly simple in both taste and appearance. The burst of flavor from the ripe, juicy tomatoes is enhanced by the soft mozzarella cheese's creamy texture. The dish is enhanced with a delicate balance of richness and acidity by the drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and fragrant basil leaves lend a hint of sweetness and scent. In addition to being aesthetically pleasing, Caprese salad is a joyful celebration of seasonal, fresh ingredients.
