The Caprese salad is an classic Italian salad that highlights fresh and high quality ingredients. It's known by its vibrant colors that resemble the Italian flag! The Caprese salad the perfect marriage of fresh, ripe tomatoes, fragrant basil, and creamy mozzarella. It's one of my favorite summertime salads and can be enjoyed as a snack or as an accompaniment to any lunch and dinner.
