Not that great as written. Needs vinegar or something!

I haven't given this a rating because my not caring for the flavor is a matter of personal taste. I find I just don't care for mozzarella this way.

Even the kids loved it. I tossed it and let it sit in the fridge for an hour.

made for girls weekend, even the non-tomato ladies loved this salad. I would add balsamic for a little more flavor next time!

It definitely needed balsamic to give it a bit more flavor. I ate this with whole wheat crackers as lunch one day. Very good.

we love caprese salad....I mix the EVOO with balsamic ving. and drizzle over the plate. fresh mozarrella is a MUST, the processed bricks wont work! You can skewer cherry tomatoes and cubed mozzarella marinated in the oil/blasamic/basil and serve as appetizers

I like this combination but for a crowd I like to use grape tomatoes cut in half and cube the cheese in small pieces. Add a little salt and toss w/ the basil/basalmic vingergrette so that everyone can take some on their plate. Had a dinner party and they loved it this way.

This is known as Caprese salad. Italians have been making this probably for centuries. It is delicious, but as others have mentioned use only the fresh cheese, not the brick or shredded kind. The fresh comes packed in water and is formed into balls. Delicious! Quick, and healthy.

Try reducing the basalmic vinegar by half. Heat basalmic vinegar in a small skillet over medium / low heat until thick (almost like honey). It removes the acid taste and makes a wonderful drizzle for your salad!

This was just what I was looking for. I would have added balsamic, but hubby doesn't care for it. Also, I had fresh basil and cut it a little too large. So make sure that you use fresh mozz. cheese. Next time, I'll add a little salt as the fresh cheese is missing it.

This is a great Summer dish. I took it to a pot luck at work and they all thought it was great. One co-worker even said she was "moving in" because I always bring "fancy things." Uh, ok? I never thought this salad as being fancy, but I guess it's all about presentation. I used olive oil that already had basil in it, so it was very easy. I think Roma tomatoes are just the right size for this dish.
