Ingredients
• 4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 200ml grated mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tablespoon balsamic dressing
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Fresh rocket leaves (optional for variety)
Preparation
1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by alternating the tomato and mozzarella slices on a large, lightly padded platter. If you want to add some flavor, sprinkle fresh arugula leaves between the peppers.
2. Add fresh basil: Place whole basil leaves between the tomatoes and cheese. Basil not only adds freshness and flavor, but it also pairs perfectly with the mozzarella cheese.
3. Dressing: Apply extra virgin olive oil to the prepared areas. Drizzle with a little balsamic vinegar to contrast the flavors and bring the dish together.
4. Dress: Season with salt and freshly picked fruit. Its flavor should be delicate so that the natural flavors such as tomato, mozzarella and basil can emerge. 5. Serve: Serve immediately as a refreshing appetizer or side dish. This Caprese salad is a testament to the versatility of mozzarella cheese, which transforms a simple ingredient into a healthy and delicious meal.
