Notes

  1. It would be best if you used fresh mozzarella and fresh ripe tomatoes for this tomato mozzarella salad to make it the best tasting salad you’ve ever bitten into.
  2. If you choose to make this simple salad ahead of time, then you can cover keep it in a sealed airtight and place it in the refrigerator. It can keep 2-3 days in the fridge when stored properly.
  3. I don't use sugar for my Caprese salad, but you can add a little bit to cut the acidity if you wish.
  4. I love the taste of balsamic vinegar, but it stains so if you are particular about looks, you can add the balsamic vinegar just before serving.
