I've definitely been in my Caprese era these past several weeks, and before the summer ends I thought I'd close it out with a little Caprese collection. This classic Italian salad is seriously 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. 🙂

There is a little something for everyone here, from a traditional Caprese to a vegan version with avocado. Or, turn the chopped Caprese salad into a whole meal with a little tuna or grilled chicken on top. Can't wait to hear what you come up with in your own kitchens!
