Welcome back to my salad person series where I’m sharing recipes for all of us who just truly enjoy a really good salad. Today’s salad is a modern take on the caprese salad. And for starters, I like to slice the tomatoes into thin wedges instead of large slices. It’s just easier to serve and easier to eat. Second, instead of fresh basil scattered over top, I’m making a rustic basil oil by muddling basil leaves with extravirgin olive oil and some flaky sea salt. And those two things together just really amplify the basil flavor. And then third, I’m using barata instead of mozzarella. And instead of leaving it whole, which is one of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to bara because it’s awkward and no one knows how to break into it or no one wants to be the first one, I tear it into large pieces and scatter it around the slices of tomato. And then finally, I find a drizzle of white balsamic adds a bright, sweet, and acidic finish that really makes this salad
