This gorgeous looking salad is one of our favourites. This recipe makes two large portions which we generally eat with a simple pasta dish.

"I can't believe that I never rated this ... it is one of my all time favourite summer salads. We usually serve it with some kind of grilled meat, but nothing too heavy ... the buffala mozzarella and tomatoes are too delicious not to eat tons of!" - susanjm

125 g fresh mozzarella; (preferably buffalo)
fresh basil
olive oil
salt

Insalata Caprese Preparation

1. Slice tomatoes and mozzarella. I usually use 5 slices of each per person.

2. Arrange tomato and mozzarella slices in alternating layers.

3. Drizzle with good quality olive oil and sprinkle with salt.

4. Slice basil leaves thinly and scatter over tomatoes and cheese. (Sorry I can't be more precise about the quantity of basil. I think I use about 1/4 cup of leaves.)

Notes

You might want to drain the mozzarella for a while prior to making this.
