Description
A refreshing twist on the classic Caprese salad featuring sweet strawberries, creamy fresh mozzarella, fragrant basil, and a tangy balsamic glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella, sliced
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries and fresh mozzarella.
2. Add the fresh basil leaves to the bowl.
3. Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the salad.
4. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
5. Toss gently to combine all ingredients without breaking the mozzarella.
6. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes before serving for enhanced flavor.
Notes
Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor.
Add a light drizzle of olive oil for extra richness if desired.
This salad is best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
For a more elegant presentation, layer the ingredients on a serving platter instead of tossing.
