Love Caprese salad but want to mix things up with some creative variations on the classic Italian appetizer? These festive Caprese recipes are both beautiful and super easy to make.

I've been in my Caprese era these past several weeks, and since it's currently peak Caprese season here, I thought I'd close it out with this little collection. This quintessential Italian salad is beloved for a reason: it's one of the most satisfying culinary combos and it requires only a handful of fresh ingredients to make the magic happen...my kind of dish. 🙂
Oh and there is a little something for everyone here, from a traditional Caprese to a vegan version with avocado. Or, turn the chopped Caprese into a whole meal with a little tuna or grilled chicken on top.
