I had an amazing Caprese salad years ago and I’ve want to recreate it ever since. I got my hands on some aged Basalmic and I’m hoping that does the trick.

    That’s a lovely tomato and mozzarella salad. Caprese never has balsamic. The trick is to find good tomatoes. And use lots of Evoo.

      Adding balsamic is just a variation. It doesn’t NOT make it caprese. This Italian pedantry needs to stop.
