What is Caprese Salad?

Literally translated, “Insalata Caprese” translates to “the salad of Capri,” which is the name of an Italian island. The traditional method for preparing a Caprese salad involves layering slices of fresh mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and basil, followed by seasoning the salad to perfection, drizzling it with extra virgin olive oil, and occasionally adding a balsamic glaze.
