My daughter makes this alot, but she puts hers on bagette bread, drizzles it with olive oil & balsamic vinegar, then addes the tomato,moz. & 2 of 3 fresh basil leaves. Really delicious.

As other reviewers have stated, make sure you have the very freshest ingredients! I love, love, love good caprese and chianti! I also drizzle balsamic vinegar with the olive oil. I made this with little balls of mozarella, halved grape tomatoes, snipped basil, sea salt, fresh pepper, olive oil and balsamic vinegar for an office luncheon. It was a huge hit! Everyone wanted my "secret recipe"!!!

a delightful summer recipe with fresh ingredients. My guests were very impressed with this dish!

Delicious, simple and elegant! I was wondering what I was going to do with all the basil I'm growing this summer. I found tomatoes on the vine that were smaller than normal, cut them in half and tore the basil leaves in half and they made great bite-sized appetizers. I did add a sprinkling of balsamic vinegar as well as the olive oil.

Excellent recipe. Our family "trick" is to lay out the tomatoes and allow them to soak up good quality balsamic vinegar AND a spinkling of rosemary flavored salt for at least 30 minutes before assembling and eating.

My hisband and I love this. My son is a chef and I made this for him and he really liked it. I also add a slice of cucumber and a slice of red oniion. It is very good. This makes for a nice change from just a salad.

Caprese salad is always a hit at our home. Don't use the bars of cheese marked mozzerella cheese. Only the fresh balls (usually packed in water) will do for this salad.

Oh!, I so agree it must have the balsamic drizzled over with the olive oil and we only use the Roma tomatoes.This is a requested family favorite for all get togethers

This is the BEST side dish OR appetizer in the summertime! I like to use roma tomatoes because they are more firm and don't forget to reduce the olive oil and add minced garlic and balsamic vinegar before drizzling over it. Yummy!!

This is one of my favorite foods. It's so easy to make, and SO delicious! I like to chiffonade the basil and sprinkle balsamic vinegar on top. Also, I tried using grape tomatoes cut in half, each with a little slice of cheese on top. So pretty and so good!

So easy, and so delicious! I used vine tomatoes and fresh basil from my herb garden. I also drizzled balsamic vinagrette on top. Great summer appetizer/salad.

Excellent basic recipe. I think we enhanced this recipe by sprinkling on some pine nuts. The pine nuts seem to complement the flavor and add some texture.

Good Recipe, but if you want to kick it up to the next level, use Buffalo mozzarella cheese. Found in specialty cheese departments of large supermarkets. Comes from Italy. Good stuff.

Heirloom tomatoes and fresh mozz is the only way to go with any Caprese. I think more EVOO and less Balsamic is better, but that is just this Italians taste. This is truly a super summer treat!!!

DELISH! I chopped the basil in slivers to top it...I even sliced some very thin slivers of garlic...I used red wine vinegar because my family isn't much for balsamic. I've made it 5 times in 2 weeks!

This is a great simple recipe my mother and I always make together. We also add balsamic vinegar- which she now found in a spray bottle...I thought it was silly at first, but it's fun because she likes to douse hers and I like just a little bit.

I've been making this for years and love it! Red, ripe, JUICY tomatoes are a must. I also like a recipe where all the ingredients are combined in a bowl and can be carted to potlucks without much fuss... juicy cherry tomatoes cut in half (sweet 100's if you grow your own...or ripe large juicy tomatoes cut into 1/2 cherry tomato sized pieces), little mozzarella balls halved (or larger pieces cut into cubes), chopped basil, sea salt, freshly ground pepper and olive oil. Mix all together in a bowl and chill. When it is about time to serve, let rest at room temperature for a bit... the salt draws the juice out from the tomatoes and mixes with the olive oil...makes the most sweet & succulent dressing!
