Caprese Salad
This classic Italian salad features soft, spongy mozzarella, juicy ripe tomatoes, a generous amount of fresh basil, and drizzles of grassy olive oil and sweet/tangy balsamic glaze. And since I basically just named the entire ingredient list, it’s also the ideal quick-and-easy appetizer or side dish for any occasion.
