This Caprese salad is the perfect last-minute appetizer: quick, fresh, and full of flavor.
In this video, I share a simple Italian trick that takes a classic Caprese to the next level, blending basil with olive oil to create a smooth, aromatic dressing that melts into the mozzarella and tomatoes.
🧾 Ingredients
• 3–4 ripe round tomatoes
• 500 g fresh mozzarella
• 8–10 fresh basil leaves (depending on size)
• Salt, to taste
• Extra virgin olive oil, as needed
👩🍳 How to make it
Slice the tomatoes and the mozzarella.
Start layering them on a serving plate: one slice of tomato, one slice of mozzarella, and repeat until the dish is complete.
In a small glass, blend the basil leaves with extra virgin olive oil until smooth.
Once the plate is ready, season lightly with salt and pour the basil-infused oil on top.
The dressing will blend perfectly with the mozzarella and tomatoes, creating a balanced and vibrant explosion of flavor.
Simple ingredients.
Perfect harmony.
Caprese done right.
