Simple and delicious, but I can’t eat a caprese without balsamic glaze! LOL! Just doesn’t seem right and my Italian friends agree. When I don’t have fresh basil on hand I use mixed greens or fresh spinach. YUMMY in whatever variation you choose.
Easy and flavorful. Loved it.
Super quick, super easy, and super good!
Gotte use fresh, ripe Jersey tomatoes and a touch of balsamic glaze!
A great summer salad!!
A great summer salad!!
This is PERFECT & CLASSIC. I LOVE that there is no Balsamic Vinegar-too overwhelming.
Love this on a bed of spinach with the addition of a sliced avocado and balsamic glaze. But the basic recipe is just as tasty if you have beautiful ripe tomatoes! I chiffonade the basil and sprinkle on top.
This was amazing! I love how authentic this recipe is! The extra virgin olive oil was perfect with Himalayan salt and freshly ground black pepper.
I have never had or heard of a caprese salad without balsamic vinegar. Olive oil alone just doesn’t cut it!!!
Delicious ‼️
