Caprese salad is the perfect quick and vibrant salad to make the most out of the juicy fresh tomatoes, this time of the year! It only take maximum 10 minutes to put together all ingredients and have it ready to be served. If you’re planning a bbq or a picnic, this tomato salad is a crowd-pleaser!
Easy Caprese Salad
Caprese Salad recipe requires only 5 ingredients: tomatoes, fresh Mozzarella cheese, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh basil.
The traditional Caprese is made with large fresh tomatoes and large fresh Mozzarella cheese balls, but I like this version of Caprese Salad with grape tomatoes and small Mozzarella balls (pearls) because it’s so much faster to make it!
Not to mention that it serves better for large crowds if you’re having a barbecue or plan for a picnic. Travels well in any containers and can be made in the morning and store covered in the refrigerator.
How to Make Caprese
Caprese is one of the easiest salads you can make. It is simple and it is super fast to have it ready to be served. You just cut grape tomatoes in halves, add them to a large bowl with fresh Mozzarella pearls, season with salt and pepper, drizzle olive oil, toss to combine well and add fresh chopped basil to it.
It doesn’t get easier than this recipe! Fresh, healthy and quick summer salad, perfect for any occasion.
