BA’s Best Caprese Salad
By Rick Martinez
Active Time
Real talk: Caprese salad (insalata caprese if you’re on Capri) is a dish to make when fresh tomatoes are at their peak; you should be able to smell them before you round the corner at your local farmers market. The time comes but once a year, so make the most of it. (If you’re reading this in the dead of winter, try a riff with roasted tomatoes instead.)
Any combination of the summer beauties will work, but we like using a mix of heirloom tomatoes for this summer salad. Pick out a few larger ones like Brandywines, ideal for thick slices, and a pint of cherry tomatoes like wonderfully sweet Sun Golds. For the cheese, resist the temptation to buy burrata, which is too watery for this recipe. You want a simple ball of fresh mozzarella cheese (preferably made from buffalo’s milk) that you can tear into chunks.
Toss the halved cherry tomatoes with oil and salt, and don’t be stingy with the seasoning. That salt will pull the juices from the tomatoes, which will mix with the oil and become your dressing. Again, resist the urge to add balsamic vinegar to the equation, which would overpower the flavor of the ripe tomatoes. Tap into your inner artist and lay your slices of tomato on a big serving platter, scatter the torn mozzarella ball all around, and spoon the juicy little guys over the whole shebang. Let it sit so the flavors meld (use the time to toss some Italian-dressing-basted chicken skewers on the grill). Just before serving, finish with freshly cracked black pepper, a drizzle more of your best olive oil , and some fresh basil leaves.
This is part of BA’s Best , a collection of our essential recipes.
Ingredients
Preparation.
Toss 1 pint mixed cherry tomatoes, preferably heirloom, halved with 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl; season with flaky sea salt .
Arrange 2 pounds mixed medium and large tomatoes, preferably heirloom, cut into thin slices and/or wedges on a serving platter, slightly overlapping; season generously with flaky sea salt . Arrange 8 oz. buffalo mozzarella or mozzarella, room temperature, torn into pieces over tomatoes; lightly season mozzarella with flaky sea salt . Spoon cherry tomatoes over salad and drizzle with 6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil ; season with coarsely ground black pepper . Let stand 30 minutes to let flavors meld and release juices from tomatoes and mozzarella.
Top salad with small basil leaves and additional salt and oil, if desired. Serve with toasted country bread alongside. Editor’s note: This recipe was first published in August 2016 as “Ultimate Caprese Salad.” Head this way for more of our favorite tomato recipes →

It's nearly perfect. I add a tbsp of good quality white wine vinegar, as I prefer the contrast of oil and vinegar in this salad. 1 tsp of sugar helps reduce the acidity of the tomatoes too.

My all time fav! Delicious, fragrant, juicy. This is so tasty and filling, my #goto lunch,dinner. Tomatoes are my addiction, im.in love.🍅🙌❤...I use Sicilian lemon vinegar, tuffle olive oil (black). This explodes the flavors...wow! Amazing....Si Mangia!
Heirloom tomatoes are DEVINE! The rustic quality combined with the many flavors is a real summer treat. I chop them roughly, toss with lemon olive oil, lots of salt and coarse pepper, then sprinkle shredded parmesan or Romano cheese on top. A glass of Pinot noir tips it all off. YAY!!

The Best Ever Caprese Salad Recipe
Modified: Apr 8, 2021 by Katie Hale · This post may contain affiliate links · Leave a Comment
As soon as the first tomatoes ripen on the vines in our garden, this Caprese salad recipe is on our table. The simple flavors are the epitome of Italy on your plate. Fresh ripe tomatoes, fresh basil, a bit of soft mozzarella, and a delicious drizzle of balsamic vinegar create the iconic side dish or salad. Red, white, and green appear on your table and invite everyone to savor the freshness of the season in every bite.
You have probably seen this in restaurants or served alongside other salads or light meals in springtime and summer. When it comes to traditional Italian food, this is the easiest recipe you will ever make. It is seriously easy to prepare, plus the flavors are perfect. They are both bright and flavorful while being deep and rich. Something hard to create in many recipes, but oh, so very easy, when making this salad.
If you want to serve something easy that isn't exactly traditional to Italian food but is still yummy, add this homemade cheesy garlic bread to your menu. It goes well with the Caprese salad as well as any of your favorite spaghetti bolognese recipes .
Is Caprese Salad Unhealthy?
This salad is a super easy protein and nutrient-packed recipe that's also fairly low in calories. While the version of healthy food depends on your own dietary needs, most diet plans and lifestyles will agree that this is a healthier choice. As long as you are not eating all of the mozzarella pieces in one sitting, it's likely that this can readily fit into your meal plan with zero guilt.
What is the Origin of Caprese Salad?
There is no doubt that the Caprese salad originated in Italy. While a variety of regions and surrounding countries also have variations in their culinary past, it really is rooted in Italian food history.
This version includes pesto, which is not classic but is often found in modern renditions. The basic ingredients are basil, tomato, and cheese in the colors of the Italian flag. The drizzle of balsamic vinegar just amps up the flavor a bit, much like the pesto in this version.
What is the Best Tomato for Caprese Salad?
For this, cherry tomatoes were a great choice since they are bite-sized already, and they happened to be ripe when purchased. You may see larger tomato slices and mozzarella slices in some versions. It really comes down to the type of tomato you like. A nice rich and slightly sweet tomato works great to go alongside the salty cheese, sweet basil, and tang of the vinegar.
Grape tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, or beefsteak tomatoes are my favorites since they are sweeter when ripe. Choose what you have on hand or can find locally, just make sure you are picking a vine-ripened option when possible. These will be the most flavorful.
What is the Best Cheese for Caprese Salad?
The only cheese to use in Caprese is mozzarella, but not all mozzarella is created equally. This is not the recipe to use a block of cheese or a bag of shredded cheese. Instead, reach for the mozzarella pearls in saltwater brine (not olive oil) or the ball of fresh mozzarella. These are going to be the most flavorful, tender, and will slice beautifully for this recipe.
To save time in preparing this recipe, I grab the pearls since they are already bite-sized. No need to slice. I can simply drain and add to the salad. There are a lot of options, some of which are marinated in olive oil or a pesto blend. I reach for the cocktail mozzarella pearls that are in saltwater instead.
What Do You Eat Caprese With?
The best part of this salad is how versatile it is in your menu. You can add it to your lunch, as an appetizer, a side salad, or alongside a lean protein for a full meal. I recommend serving with chicken, pork, or fish. While it does go with beef, it seems to fit the lighter proteins a bit better. It's ideal for a side to any main protien, or a starter for a larger Italian meal.
I like to serve this alongside the garlic and herbed baked chicken breast or as a side to this recipe for the easiest barbecue chicken breast . While not exactly Italian meals, it still fits well with the flavors.
What is a Balsamic Vinegar Reduction?
The balsamic vinegar reduction is simply a thicker cooked-down version of your vinegar. It is made by slowly simmering the balsamic vinegar over low heat until it is reduced by at least half. You can purchase the reduction in some grocery stores with the other kinds of vinegar and condiments, or plan ahead to make your own. It is best made with high-quality balsamic vinegar.
Ingredients
- Cherry tomatoes
- Mozzarella pearls
- Fresh Basil
- Balsamic vinegar reduction
- Black pepper
Handy Kitchen Tools
- Serving platter
- Cutting board
- Saucepan (if making homemade reduction)
- Serving spoon or tongs
How to Make a Caprese Salad
Prepare your tomatoes and mozzarella by slicing if needed.
Arrange the tomato and cheese on a serving platter so they are alternated.
Drizzle the top with balsamic vinegar reduction and pesto sauce. Do not coat it completely, but a light drizzle so each bite will have just a taste as an accent.
Sprinkle the top with basil leaves and a sprinkle of salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 days in an airtight container.

Caprese Salad

Caprese salad is a classic Italian salad made with alternating slices of juicy, ripe tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella. It’s topped with fresh basil leaves, drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and sprinkled with salt and pepper. It’s simple, fresh, and one of my favorite summer salad recipes.
Caprese salad (also known as insalata caprese ) is a classic dish from the Italian island of Capri. It’s simple, juicy, creamy, fresh, and my go-to salad whenever I travel to Italy. Imagine sitting in a cafe on the Amalfi coast, gazing out at the ocean while enjoying a freshly made caprese salad with an Aperol spritz . It’s the most perfect experience ever.
So, I say let’s bring that same experience into your kitchen and whip up this caprese salad recipe. It’s easy to make, light and refreshing, and guaranteed to be a hit for all your summer dinner parties and cookouts.
Caprese Salad Ingredients
The most important thing about a caprese salad is the quality of the ingredients. That’s why it’s a summertime staple — when tomatoes and basil are fresh and at their best. Here’s what’s in it:
- Tomatoes : Splurge on the juiciest tomatoes you can find. Whether that’s organic heirloom tomatoes or plum tomatoes, just make sure they’re ripe with no hint of green and almost about to burst.
- Mozzarella : Again, don’t skimp on cheap stuff. Grab a big ball of fresh, creamy, authentic mozzarella (mozzarella di buffalo is also great) for the perfect texture. You’ll usually find it packed in water.
- Fresh Basil : Pluck those leaves fresh from the plant right before serving, if possible. You want a bright green color and a fresh aroma that make you feel like you’re wandering through an Italian garden.
- Olive Oil : I’m sure you’ve gathered the theme here, but freshness is also crucial with olive oil. Opt for an excellent cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil with a bit of a bite. It doesn’t have to be expensive, but it does have to be good. California Olive Ranch and Lucini are two of my go-to brands.
- Balsamic Vinegar : I’ll be the first to say that balsamic vinegar is not classic or necessary on caprese salad, but boy do I love it. And when it’s made into a balsamic reduction , it’s thick, sweet, and lovely. You can add it or leave it off, it’s up to you!
- Salt and Pepper : Use a flakey salt like Maldon Salt or triangular sea salt for that perfect texture. Just don’t use table salt. Add freshly cracked black pepper for the finishing touch.
Helpful tip : If you’re abundant with fresh tomatoes, use them to make other Mediterranean favorites like my zucchini noodle caprese , marinara sauce , Greek salad , or this Nicoise salad !

How To Make Caprese Salad
Slice the tomatoes and mozzarella. Once sliced, simply alternate them in layers on a plate. You can place the layers in a vertical row or round them out into a circle as I did. It’s all about presentation here!
Add the finishing touches. Layer the basil leaves in between the tomatoes and mozzarella, with a few baby leaves on top. Then, drizzle the olive oil and balsamic reduction on top, and sprinkle with salt and pepper before serving. Then — cue the bottle of wine!
Storage Tips
Caprese salad is always best served fresh. But you could also make this up to 24 hours in advance (without the oil and balsamic vinegar). Just slice up the tomatoes and mozzarella and store them in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
If have a few slices left over, the salad will also keep in the fridge for up to 4 days. Just note that the tomato will soften over time.

Glad this satisfied even a chef!
This salad will be perfect for serving to guests! You can see which brand I use in my Balsamic Reduction recipe post :)
Glad you enjoyed this caprese salad Karen!
A friend from Italy was visiting me and was shocked to see me use basil pesto on my Caprese. I mix my pesto with olive oil so I can drizzle it – I always have pesto in my freezer and don’t always have access to fresh basil leaves.
He uses a black olive tapenade. It is an absolutely delicious option, I can assure you. The rich and salty tartness of the olive spread plays very well with mozzarella and ripe tomatoes.
I love pesto on caprese as well. It may not be as traditional, but I say go with what tastes good. Just like the tapenade!
It’s definitely the perfect summer salad. Hope you enjoy Tayo!
Those juicy tomatoes are everything! Enjoy the recipe Kate. :)
Awesome! I’m so happy you loved the recipe Emily. Caprese salads always seem to be a hit. :)
Happy I’m not the only one who loves it with the balsamic. I know it’s not as traditional, but I just love balsamic on just about anything. ;) Thanks Danielle!
Thanks so much Sara! I agree! I’m happy you loved the recipe. :)

Caprese salad is the no effort Italian summer lunch or side dish.
All you have to do is slice a tomato and a mozzarella. And a few other simple steps to make it really delicious.
MAKING THE ITALIAN CAPRESE SALAD AHEAD OF TIME
The first thing you must know about the Caprese salad recipe is that you should make it a little in advance . Thirty minutes to two hours: this way, flavors set into a delicious juicy dish, and the herbs can release their aroma.
Which herbs?
THE AUTHENTIC ITALIAN CAPRESE SALAD RECIPE
With or without basil and oregano.
Basil or oregano . Or both.
Basil must be fresh and hand-cut – the knife blade makes it oxidize-, while oregano can be both fresh or dry.
These herbs are the secret ingredients that will make your Caprese salad spectacular. Those and the marinating time.
WHICH MOZZARELLA?
For an even better flavor, look for really good mozzarella. Fiordilatte is ok, but Bufala – from buffalo milk – is extraordinary.
heirloom or cherry tomatoes?
Tomatoes for a classic Caprese salad must be firm and crispy , heirloom or cherry tomatoes. My favorites are “pachino riccio” also called “costoluto”, although they are spring tomato, available for a limited time of the year.
OTHER INGREDIENTS
Only a couple of additions to the Caprese salad recipe are admitted by tradition: black pepper, olives (black), anchovies, or pesto. Add as much as you like, but be careful to not overcome the tomato and mozzarella flavors.

Ingredients.
- 2-3 medium heirloom or salad tomato
- 1 mozzarella fiordilatte or bufala

Chop the basil or oregano (if fresh) leaves.
Slice the tomatoes and the mozzarella in medium pieces.
Place them in a medium bowl and season with olive oil, salt to your taste and herbs.

Recipe Notes
You can make the caprese salad the day before and refrigerate it overnight. But take it out of the fridge at least an hour before serving it! It won't be the same, but more than good enough to eat.

6 salad recipes by Michelin-starred chefs
1. jean-georges vongerichten's shrimp salad.
For a light starter to any meal, try the acclaimed chef’s steamed shrimp salad with two dressings. We love this salad for its simplicity - just fresh shrimps and mixed greens come together with two different types of luxurious sauces.
- Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp then split them in two, keeping the tails attached.
- Place on a buttered dish, season and grill for about 1 and a half to 2 minutes.
- Plate up with seasonal salad greens, sliced avocado, enoki mushrooms and diced tomatoes.
- Drizzle with the first dressing (1 part soy sauce, 1 part lemon juice, 1 part truffle juice and 3 parts olive oil).
- Add chopped chives then the second dressing, a reduction of shallots, Champagne vinegar, cream and butter.
2. Gordon Ramsay’s spicy beef salad
Gordon Ramsay's salad recipe makes use of a great piece of beef and turns it into an Asian-inspired salad full of fresh cherry tomatoes, mixed greens, and herbs. The salad dressing is bright and spicy, made with fiery red chilies, fish sauce, lime juice, and mint. The entire salad is topped off with toasted peanuts.
- Start by seasoning the steak generously and sear in a hot pan with olive oil. Turn once and cook for 2 and a half minutes on each side. Allow to rest.
- Make the spicy dressing: deseed a chilli and chop, crush in a pestle and mortar with a peeled garlic clove and salt. Add two teaspoons of palm sugar, fish sauce and fresh lime. Mix until the sugar dissolves.
- Prepare the vegetables and coat in the dressing.
- Plate up with the sliced, rested steak. Top with crushed, toasted peanuts.
3. Daniel Boulud’s favourite salad recipes
Chef Daniel Boulud creates two super easy summer salads - one with a medley of tomatoes, another with peaches and Parmesan cheese. If you're used to making tomato caprese salad, try the starred-chef's version with labneh instead.
Labneh, a Middle Eastern fresh cheese, is easily made at home - simply wrap a cheesecloth over some greek yoghurt and hang over a bowl in the fridge overnight. The result will be a fresh cheese with a cream cheese-like consistency that can take on any flavour you wish in a dish.
- For the tomato salad: cut heirloom and cherry tomatoes into wedges and season. Make a dressing with tomato water, lemon juice, garlic, honey, sumac, olive oil, salt and pepper. Plate up with drained labneh, sliced avocado and shallots before garnishing with basil and a pinch of sumac.
- For the second summery salad: use a leafy green base with herbs and add flaked pecorino cheese to cooked quinoa and sliced peach. Sprinkle with toasted almonds and chopped black olives. Drizzle with a Champagne vinaigrette or balsamic dressing.
2 Caesar salads: Thomas Keller vs Massimo Bottura
4. Thomas Keller Caesar salad
If you are after a good old caesar, Thomas Keller's salad is where it’s at. In this video for the New York Times , the chef goes through each and every element of this American classic, from what olive oil to use, why you use anchovies in the dressing, to what type of salt you should be sprinkling on your salads. This is the guide to help you make the best Caesar salad of your life.
- Make the anchovy paste.
- Grate the parmesan cheese onto a baking sheet to make a parmesan crisp.
- Add a garlic clove and coarse salt to the anchovy paste to perfume the bowl with garlic.
- Add a raw egg and blend until it coats the back of the spoon. Gradually add olive oil to emulsify.
- Add the torn salad leaves to the emulsified dressing and another pinch of salt. Grind black pepper over the top and squeeze lemon juice.
- Grate more fresh parmesan into the bowl and add broken pieces of the parmesan crisp. Toss all the ingredients together.
- Plate up and garnish with more grated parmesan and single brown anchovies.
5. Massimo Bottura’s Caesar salad
Called Modena to Dubai, Bottura’s salad shares a few elements in common with the Caesar salad, but is something entirely new that only Bottura can create. Ingredients like Parmesan cheese mingle with balsamic vinegar from Bottura’s hometown of Modena, as well as ingredients unique to the Middle East.
While we don't recommend it, you may (if you absolutely must) substitute the balsamic vinegar with red wine vinegar if you can't find it, and go for a good mix of baby greens and edible flowers for visual effect.
- Arrange the base leaves and herbs delicately. Grate a boiled egg yolk before adding dots of extra virgin olive oil and caesar salad sauce.
- Drizzle in balsamic vinegar and dot with lemon gel.
- Add thin slices of crunchy bread and parmesan crisps to garnish.
6. Enrico Crippa’s 21-31-41 salad recipe
This is one of Crippa’s most famous recipes, partly because it uses a whopping 40+ ingredients for a salad that is kept entirely raw. His process of picking all the ingredients, such as succulents, greens, roots, and flowers from his two gardens makes for fascinating viewing, and the resulting salad is a symphony of raw flavours.
You won't find any feta cheese or red onions here. Rather, the entire dish is about tasting the incredible diversity in flavours and textures of greens - some familiar, some not so much. Use it as a guide to creating your own composition of fresh vegetables.
- Prepare the fresh salad leaves and herbs.
- Assemble the dish by combining the leaves, add a pinch of salt, sesame needs and nori seaweed.
- Add candied ginger water, julienned pieces of candied ginger, some drops of Barolo wine vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Stir together carefully.
- Add aromatic herbs and assemble. Top with hazelnuts.
- Garnish with edible flowers to add colour.
Salads provide an endless source of creativity in the kitchen.

Caprese salad.
The thing that sets this Caprese Salad apart from others? Toss with a simple garlic-herb vinaigrette first, then finish with a drizzle of balsamic for extra flavour and the signature look. Looks great, tastes even better!
Caprese Salad is terrific served as a side for sharing, as a light meal with crusty bread or piled onto toast with smashed avocado. Fresh and delightful!
Everybody loves the idea of a Caprese Salad, but all too often it’s either rather bland because it’s just dressed with olive oil, or it looks like a terrible mess because it’s tossed with balsamic which stains the pearly baby mozzarella balls brown. 😩
So I make my Caprese Salad with a vinaigrette for the main dressing then drizzle it with a balsamic glaze for an extra burst burst of flavour just before serving.
Dressing for Caprese Salad
The Dressing that everybody thinks of as Caprese Salad Dressing is a balsamic glaze, also known as balsamic reduction. It has an intense sweet-tangy flavour so you do not need very much of it – just a drizzle – otherwise it will overwhelm the salad.
So we need second Dressing for Caprese Salad to provide more flavour that we can toss through the whole salad before drizzling with the balsamic glaze. Many recipes just use plain olive oil, but I prefer to use a simple garlic-herb vinaigrette because it has more flavour, I like the look of the little specks and also, it’s healthier (less oil).
While balsamic reduction is quite simple to make (see recipe here ), I’ve used store bought here. It’s not that expensive, and it has a shelf life of years and years!
What cheese? FRESH Mozzarella / Bocconcini
Caprese Salad is made with fresh mozzarella cheese. This is different to the mozzarella cheese you grate and sprinkle onto things to bake and melt.
Fresh mozzarella is soft, and unlike most cheeses, it is not salty. It has a flavour similar to ricotta – though the texture is different.
In this particular recipe, I have used baby mozzarella, also known as cherry mozzarella or bocconcini. They are just small fresh mozzarella balls. I like using small ones because they are similar in size to the cherry tomatoes.
Is fresh mozzarella good for you?
Fresh mozzarella (including bocconcini) is lower in calories and fat than most cheeses. 100g / 3.5 oz fresh mozzarella has 280 calories, 17g fat (11g saturated) and 16g sodium compared to cheddar cheese 402 calories, 33g fat, and 621g sodium.
However, as with all cheeses, mozzarella cheese is high in saturated fat which is not good for cardiovascular health. So enjoy consume in moderation!
While most people just keep the bocconcini balls whole, I prefer to halve them so they are the same size as the halved cherry tomatoes. Better balance of tomato and mozzarella in each bite!
This also makes the bocconcini go further – it’s a bit pricey, starting at about $5 for a 220g / 7.5oz tub, going up to $10.
For a Caprese Salad served like this, I like to use a ratio of about 1:2 bocconcini to cherry tomatoes, by weight. I find this to be the best balance of juicy tomatoes to creamy mozzarella. Feel free to adjust to your taste!
How to serve Caprese Salad
I’ve made this Caprese Salad as a side dish for sharing, rather than a single plate starter as it is often served at restaurants.
But think beyond a side salad! I enjoying having Caprese Salad as light no-cook meals in the hotter months . The bocconcini gives it oomph , especially if you have a crusty roll on the side, so it’s quite satisfying as a meal.
But my favourite way to serve this Caprese Salad is as bruschetta on toast. Smush up some avocado on toasted sourdough, then pile Caprese Salad on top. Breakfast, lunch or dinner.
It’s SO GOOD! – Nagi x

Health benefits of tomatoes
Tomato is great for you and low in calories – so eat lots guilt free! They are a good source of Vitamin A (benefits eyes, heart and hair) and Vitamin C (general well being!), as well as being an unexpected good source of calcium (healthy bones!). It’s also known as a preventative for certain types of cancer and maintaining kidney health.

Hi, just wondering about the comment above regarding halving tomatoes in advance. Do you advise waiting until just prior to serving to cut the tomatoes? Thanks

Torta Caprese
The history of the torta Caprese is hard to pin down, but most agree it was born from a mistake when flour was left out of the recipe. Coeliacs and cake lovers will be pleased with its fudgy centre regardless. Serve it with a nip of Liquore Strega (if you can find it), which is sometimes used to flavour the torta.
Ingredients
Note Roasted almond meal is available from supermarkets. If it’s unavailable substitute almond meal or hazelnut meal. Drink Suggestion: Sweet white malvasia. Drink suggestion by Max Allen Notes

Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze
Feb 26, 2023 | This post may contain affiliate links. If you purchase something I might make a small commission at no additional cost to you. Thanks for supporting my blog!
This recipe for Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze is a modern variation of a classic Caprese salad. A traditional Caprese consists of mozzarella, ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil, all drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with salt and black pepper.
This delicious dish was named after the island of Capri and has since become a popular antipasto (appetizer) in Italian cuisine. In this recipe, I decided to use cherry tomatoes instead of larger tomatoes and added a tangy balsamic glaze for extra flavor.
One of my absolute favorite times to serve this dish is during the summer months when tomatoes are at their peak season and the weather is warm. As someone who loves to cook but hates turning on the oven or stove when it’s hot out, this dish is a total win for me. It’s perfect for summer because it's light, refreshing, and so easy to prepare. I love bringing it along to any potlucks, picnics, or family barbecues because it's always a hit with everyone.
If you’re looking to turn this into a complete meal, I highly recommend pairing it with one of my main course recipes . One of my personal favorites is Shrimp Scampi With Angel Hair Pasta . The combination of the garlicky shrimp and the cool, tangy tomato salad is unbeatable. Another great option is this Spicy Spaghetti Recipe With Sausage . The heat from the sausage perfectly complements the refreshing flavors of the salad.
And of course, no meal is complete without a delicious drink to wash it down with. My favorite cocktail to pair with this dish is a classic Paloma Recipe . The tart grapefruit juice and tequila perfectly balance the sweetness of the tomatoes in the salad. Trust me, this combination is a match made in heaven!

- 🥣 Equipment
Food safety
🍅 ingredients.
The key ingredients I used for this Caprese Salad include the following:
- Cherry Tomatoes: These small, sweet tomatoes are perfect for salads because of their size and flavor.
- Fresh Ciliegine Mozzarella: A soft and creamy cheese that pairs well with the acidity of the tomatoes.
- Fresh Basil: A fragrant herb that adds a fresh and bright flavor to the dish.
- Balsamic Glaze: A thick, tangy, and slightly sweet sauce made from balsamic vinegar, which adds a depth of flavor to the salad.
- Olive Oil, Dried Oregano, Black Pepper, and Sea Salt: These additional seasonings help to enhance the flavors of the other ingredients and add some depth to the dish.
See the recipe card for quantities.
Helpful Hint: To prevent the salad from becoming too watery, especially if you're making it ahead of time, try salting the sliced tomatoes and letting them sit in a colander for 15 to 20 minutes before assembling the salad. This will help draw out excess moisture from the tomatoes and prevent the salad from becoming too soggy. After salting the tomatoes, rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel before assembling the salad.
🥗 Substitutions
Looking to make this recipe but don't have the exact ingredients? Here are a few helpful ideas for substitutions you can try:
- Tomatoes: While cherry tomatoes are the star of this recipe, you can use any type of tomato you like. Roma or grape tomatoes are great alternatives, or you can try using heirloom tomatoes for a more colorful and flavorful salad.
- Mozzarella: Instead of fresh mozzarella balls, you can use sliced fresh mozzarella or even burrata cheese for a creamier texture. You could also substitute feta or goat cheese for a tangier flavor.
- Basil: If you don't have fresh basil on hand, you can substitute dried basil, or use other fresh herbs such as parsley, cilantro, or mint.
- Balsamic Glaze: If you don't have balsamic glaze, you can make your own by simmering balsamic vinegar over low heat until it thickens and becomes syrupy. You can also use a different type of glaze, such as honey or maple glaze, or omit the glaze altogether if you prefer a lighter salad.
- Seasonings: Feel free to experiment with different seasonings to customize the flavor of the salad. You could add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat, or swap out the oregano for Italian seasoning or dried thyme.
Want to add some extra flair to your Caprese Salad? Try one of these delicious variations:
- Grilled Vegetable Caprese Salad: Add some grilled vegetables to the salad for a heartier version. Try grilling zucchini, eggplant, or bell peppers, and then slicing them and adding them to the salad.
- Strawberry Caprese Salad: For a sweet twist on this classic salad, add some sliced strawberries to the mix. The sweet and savory flavors will pair perfectly together.
- Caprese Grilled Cheese Sandwich: Use the same ingredients to make a delicious grilled cheese sandwich. Layer sliced tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves between two slices of bread, and then grill until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted.
🥣 Equipment
- Cutting board
- Sharp knife
- Serving platter
- Measuring spoons
To properly store this Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze, you'll want to transfer any leftover salad to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator. Make sure to consume the leftovers within 1-2 days for the best flavor and texture.
Now, a little tip for you: if you've already dressed the salad with the balsamic glaze, it's best not to store it for too long, as the tomatoes and mozzarella can become watery and the basil can wilt. To prevent this, you can store the dressed salad separately from the balsamic glaze and drizzle it over the top just before serving.
That's it! Storing this salad is easy and straightforward, and it will keep well in the refrigerator for a day or two if properly stored.
I always make sure to use the freshest ingredients possible when preparing this salad. Did someone say local Farmer's Market? It's all about showcasing those simple and delicious flavors, so the quality of your ingredients can really make a big difference in the end result. I love searching for the brightest red cherry tomatoes, picking the most fragrant basil leaves, and finding the creamiest, freshest mozzarella to include. And when it comes to the finishing touch, I never forget to drizzle on plenty of balsamic glaze for that perfect sweet and tangy flavor!
When it comes to making a Caprese salad, cherry tomatoes are a classic choice. But I've found that other types of tomatoes like heirloom, Roma, or beefsteak tomatoes can also make a great addition to the mix. Personally, I love experimenting with different tomato varieties because they bring their unique flavor, texture, and color to the salad. Whether it's the sweetness of an heirloom tomato or the juiciness of a beefsteak tomato, choosing the right tomato can really elevate the dish and make it your own. So don't be afraid to try something new and see what works best for your taste buds!
When it comes to a Caprese salad, fresh basil is definitely my top choice. But let's be real, sometimes we don't have access to fresh herbs. In a pinch, dried basil can work as a substitute. Just keep in mind that the flavor won't be as punchy and lively as it would be with fresh basil. So if you have the chance to get your hands on fresh basil, go for it! But if not, dried basil will still do the job.
One of the best things about caprese salad is that it's incredibly versatile and can be customized to your liking. If you're looking to add some protein to the dish, consider grilling up some shrimp or adding in some prosciutto. But keep in mind that adding too many ingredients can make the flavor profile more complex. So be sure to adjust the seasoning and dressing accordingly to maintain that perfect balance of flavors.
When it comes to the mozzarella in a caprese salad, I always make sure to use the freshest and highest quality mozzarella I can find. It's important to pat the cheese dry with a paper towel before using it in the salad to prevent it from becoming too watery. And to ensure the perfect texture, I like to add the mozzarella just before serving, so it doesn't have time to release excess liquid. This small step can make a big difference in the overall texture and flavor of the salad.
Yes! This salad can be made ahead of time, but it's best to prepare it just before serving for optimal freshness. If you need to prepare it in advance, store the ingredients separately and assemble the salad just before serving. The dressing and balsamic glaze can be added just before serving to prevent the salad from getting soggy.

WGS 84 coordinate reference system is the latest revision of the World Geodetic System, which is used in mapping and navigation, including GPS satellite navigation system (the Global Positioning System).
Geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) define a position on the Earth’s surface. Coordinates are angular units. The canonical form of latitude and longitude representation uses degrees (°), minutes (′), and seconds (″). GPS systems widely use coordinates in degrees and decimal minutes, or in decimal degrees.
Latitude varies from −90° to 90°. The latitude of the Equator is 0°; the latitude of the South Pole is −90°; the latitude of the North Pole is 90°. Positive latitude values correspond to the geographic locations north of the Equator (abbrev. N). Negative latitude values correspond to the geographic locations south of the Equator (abbrev. S).
Longitude is counted from the prime meridian ( IERS Reference Meridian for WGS 84) and varies from −180° to 180°. Positive longitude values correspond to the geographic locations east of the prime meridian (abbrev. E). Negative longitude values correspond to the geographic locations west of the prime meridian (abbrev. W).
UTM or Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system divides the Earth’s surface into 60 longitudinal zones. The coordinates of a location within each zone are defined as a planar coordinate pair related to the intersection of the equator and the zone’s central meridian, and measured in meters.
Elevation above sea level is a measure of a geographic location’s height. We are using the global digital elevation model GTOPO30 .

The list of ingredients in the Caprese salad in its purest form is elegantly scant, the method equally so. Tomatoes, mozzarella, basil (and, in some older recipes, oregano), olive oil, salt, pepper. Slice, arrange, drizzle, season, serve. Note the inclusion of the word "purest" here. To qualify as a true insalata Caprese, this is the limit ...

Preparation. Step 1. Toss 1 pint mixed cherry tomatoes, preferably heirloom, halved with 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a small bowl; season with flaky sea salt.. Step 2. Arrange 2 pounds mixed ...
To make Caprese salad, you'll need some fresh mozzarella cheese, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil leaves, high-quality olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. First, start by slicing the mozzarella cheese and the tomatoes into even rounds. Use a sharp knife or even a bread knife to make sure your slices are nice and even.
Prepare your tomatoes and mozzarella by slicing if needed. Arrange the tomato and cheese on a serving platter so they are alternated. Drizzle the top with a balsamic vinegar reduction, olive oil, and pesto sauce. Do not coat it completely, but a light drizzle so each bite will have just a taste as an accent.
Tuck in the basil leaves between the slices, and sprinkle or arrange a few more on top. Season: Drizzle the olive oil over the salad and grind a little black pepper on top. Let the salad rest briefly—no more than 5 to 10 minutes. Right before serving, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top (optional).
Caprese salad (also known as insalata caprese) is a classic dish from the Italian island of Capri. It's simple, juicy, creamy, fresh, and my go-to salad whenever I travel to Italy. Imagine sitting in a cafe on the Amalfi coast, gazing out at the ocean while enjoying a freshly made caprese salad with an Aperol spritz.
Arrange the tomato slices on a cutting board. Sprinkle with sugar and ¼ teaspoon of the salt and let sit for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves. Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a serving platter, alternating with the sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Cut small cubes of mozzarella (or buy the small 1" balls called bocconcini) and use cherry tomatoes instead of large tomatoes. Thread the ingredients on skewers and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper, and the optional balsamic. Voila: insalate caprese on a stick, perfect for a walk-around or pre-barbecue appetizer!
Sprinkle basil leaves all over, and tuck a few more into the crevices. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. For the best flavor (if you have the time), let the salad rest for 30 minutes so the tomatoes release some juices and the flavors have time to mingle. This salad is best served within a few hours.
Instructions. Chop the basil or oregano (if fresh) leaves. Slice the tomatoes and the mozzarella in medium pieces. Place them in a medium bowl and season with olive oil, salt to your taste and herbs. Mix and let rest 30 minutes to 2 hours before serving, at room temperature.
Turn once and cook for 2 and a half minutes on each side. Allow to rest. Make the spicy dressing: deseed a chilli and chop, crush in a pestle and mortar with a peeled garlic clove and salt. Add two teaspoons of palm sugar, fish sauce and fresh lime. Mix until the sugar dissolves.
Classic Caprese Salad Recipe Variations. Use mini mozzarella balls and cherry tomatoes instead and create some caprese salad skewers for a fun — and portable — twist.Simply thread the tomatoes, cheese, and fresh basil onto wooden skewers and serve with the balsamic glaze on the side.
Arrange tomatoes and mozzarella on a platter in an alternating pattern. Top with the basil leaves. Scatter the basil leaves over the tomatoes and mozzarella. Season with flaky salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with a generous pinch of flaky salt and several grinds of black pepper, to taste. Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Place tomatoes, bocconcini and most of the basil in a bowl. Drizzle over dressing, toss gently. Transfer to shallow serving bowl. Just before serving, drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with remaining basil.
Just brush a thick slice of baguette with extra virgin olive oil (both sides). Place on a baking sheet, top with a slice of tomato and a tear of mozzarella and sprinkling of salt and pepper. Then bake in the oven at 220ºC/428ºF for 5-7 minutes. Take out of the oven and top with a basil leaf.
