Insalata Caprese - Italian Recipe

Insalata Caprese

🌍 Italian, Campania Difficulty: ●●●○○

The dish exists only in summer, when tomatoes taste like tomatoes. Buffalo mozzarella from Campania is correct — the factory-made block sold in plastic has no place here. Dress it with oil and salt. Nothing else.

Ingredients

• 4 large ripe tomatoes, sliced
• 250g buffalo mozzarella, sliced
• Fresh basil leaves
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• Salt, black pepper

Method

1. Alternating — Alternate tomato and mozzarella slices on plate.
2. Step 2 — Tuck basil between slices.
3. Drizzling — Drizzle with oil; season.
