Bianca Bosso’s 10 Rules For Making The Perfect Caprese Salad:
1. Choose Fresh Ingredients: Always use the freshest tomatoes, burrata or mozzarella, and basil for the best flavour.
2. Use the Right Tomatoes: Opt for heirloom, vine-ripened, or Campari tomatoes for their superior taste and texture.
3. Use the Right Knife: A sharp, serrated knife ensures clean, even slices without crushing the tomatoes.
4. Cut Thick, Even Slices: Slice tomatoes thickly and evenly to retain their juices and provide a satisfying bite.
5. Pre-Salt and Pre-Oil: Toss the tomato slices in a bowl with salt and a drizzle of olive oil to enhance their flavour before assembling the salad.
6. Tear, Don’t Cut Basil: Tearing basil leaves instead of cutting them helps preserve their delicate flavour and aroma.
7. Don’t Waste the Juices: Pour the leftover oil and tomato juices over the salad for added richness and flavour.
8. Elevate with Burrata: Use burrata instead of regular mozzarella to take your Caprese salad to the next level with its creamy centre.
9. Season Burrata: Add a pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil to the burrata for enhanced flavour.
10. Serve with Crusty Bread: Toast slices of crusty bread in olive oil and rub them with raw garlic to soak up the delicious juices and complete your Italian experience.
