Insalata Caprese I image

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.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I love this salad. The mozzarella and basil really balance out the flavor of the tomatoes.

This is the best Caprese salad I've ever had! The tomatoes were so fresh and juicy, the mozzarella was creamy and flavorful, and the basil added a perfect touch of herbaceousness. I will definitely be making this again and again.
