Ingredients
Method
- Wash, halve, and dry 1 cup cherry tomatoes, and halve 1 cup baby mozzarella balls. Roll 6 leaves fresh basil together vertically and then make thin slices across the roll so that you end up with basil ribbons.
- Place tomatoes, basil and mozzarella into a medium mixing bowl and stir gently to combine.
- Drizzle everything with 1 teaspoon olive oil and ½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
Storage: Caprese salad is best when consumed immediately once you add the olive oil and vinegar, but you could refrigerate it for up to 24 hours if necessary.
Meal prep: Prepare the tomatoes, mozzarella and basil in advance, but assemble, season, and drizzle with olive oil and vinegar just before consuming.
