Fresh ingredients really make a difference in certain dishes and Caprese salad is one of them. Caprese is typically an Italian antipasto or side dish and is so simple to make, which I love!
There are only a few ingredients, so the freshness and quality of everything is super important.
I chose to use heirloom tomatoes from Trader Joe's and fresh balls of mozzarella cheese. I also used fresh basil that I had left over from making pesto.
I love having Caprese as an appetizer because it’s really tasty, quick and doesn’t fill you up before dinner – it’s perfect!

Alternately place tomatoes and mozzarella slices on a plate. Sprinkle with fresh basil and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle olive oil over the top. Enjoy!
