There are many versions of a Caprese salad…
At Sticky Balsamic, we love a salad, especially one that tastes even better using Sticky Balsamic on it! No matter what time of year, there's nothing better than a fresh Caprese Salad! It's simple, quick and so very tasty that you'll wonder why you don't make this to eat every day!
Caprese Salad means "Salad of Capri" and was made to resemble the Italian flag! What an amazing patriotic addition to the Italian foodscape!
A Caprese Salad is simple to make, is super-tasty and there are just so many variations you can try. Simply buy some fresh buffalo mozzarella, some (ideally) home grown, fresh tasty tomatoes, some (ideally) home grown herbs such as fresh basil (the traditional choice) or dill. Also have some salt flakes, fresh pepper and your favourite Sticky Balsamic variety (Original, Pear, Premium Fig, Premium Reserve) of your choice on hand, and some crostini or other crunchy bread.
To prepare, slice the buffalo mozzarella and tomato, arrange on a plate with the herb of your choice. Drizzle your Sticky Balsamic over the mozzarella, herb and tomato, and season with salt flakes and freshly ground pepper. Serve with the crostini if you like. Also try Sticky Balsamic Pearls - they add an incredible burst of flavour with every bite!
Voila, you have the most amazing, easy, quick salad that will taste incredible!
