Flavorful and traditional Caprese salad made even more beautiful and healthy on a bed of fresh green beans. I love having this for dinner on a warm summer evening.

This salad was okay, but I've definitely had better. The tomatoes were not very flavorful and the mozzarella was a bit too firm. The basil was fresh and fragrant, but it couldn't save the salad. I would not make this salad again.

I found this salad to be very bland. The tomatoes were tasteless and the mozzarella was rubbery. The basil was the only thing that had any flavor. I would not recommend this salad to anyone.

This salad was a bit too simple for my taste. I would have liked to see some additional ingredients, such as olives, artichoke hearts, or roasted peppers. The balsamic glaze was also a bit too sweet for my liking.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this salad! The mozzarella and basil really mellowed out the tomato flavor. I also appreciated how easy it was to make. It's a great salad for busy weeknights.
