Caprese Salad is a simple Italian dish made with slices of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, seasoned with salt and drizzled with olive oil. Sometimes balsamic vinegar is added for extra flavor. This salad is celebrated for its vibrant colors that resemble the Italian flag and its blend of fresh, complementary flavors. It’s often served as a starter or side dish, especially during the summer when tomatoes are at their peak.
