INSALATA CAPRESE I

This tastes like the salad that is served at a famous Italian restaurant chain in my area. It's perfect with fresh loaf of crusty bread. For the best flavor be sure to use fresh whole-milk mozzarella it puts the packaged varieties to shame. You can find fresh mozzarella in Italian delis, gourmet markets, cheese shops and some grocery stores.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and flavorful tomatoes: Choose tomatoes that are firm, juicy, and have a deep red color. Avoid tomatoes that are bruised or have soft spots.
  • Use fresh mozzarella cheese: Fresh mozzarella is soft, creamy, and has a mild flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in the salad. Avoid using pre-shredded mozzarella, as it can be dry and rubbery.
  • Use high-quality balsamic vinegar: Balsamic vinegar is a key ingredient in the dressing for the salad. Choose a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years, as it will have a more complex and flavorful taste.
  • Make the balsamic vinegar reduction ahead of time: The balsamic vinegar reduction can be made up to a week in advance. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Use a variety of fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, thyme, and oregano, can add a burst of flavor to the salad. Use a variety of herbs to create a complex and flavorful dish.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Insalata Caprese is best served immediately after it is made. The tomatoes and mozzarella cheese will start to release their juices and the salad will become watery if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

The combination of ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella cheese, and flavorful balsamic vinegar reduction is sure to please everyone.
