This is the traditional Italian summer salad, Insalata Caprese, in the style of Capri. This is generally made with fresh, vine-ripened Roma tomatoes, but today I had to substitute another type - what's most important is not what kind of tomato you use, but what is the freshest, ripest, reddest available. Also, traditionally fresh mozzarella is used. Concetta's Caprese Salad is authentic in that she does not include balsamic vinegar!

Attractive, flavorful and easy. Tasted better when I used a fresh mozzarella ball (pricier) than when I used the more economical mozzarella log. I also added a bit of balsamic for a little kick in flavor.

As listed this is not very good recipe. With the commonly suggested changes of using fresh mozz and basil, and adding a drizzle of balsamic to the dressing it's a classic and a 5 however.

2 words: FRESH MOZZARELLA. My favorite treat in the world is some heirloom tomatoes (sliced) with fresh mozzarella and basil. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Mmmm, tastes like summer. The Olive Tap sells an amazing Pomegranate Balsamic Vinegar...

I made this dish as an appetizer for my husband for valentines day. It was fantastic and he loved it. It's a nice change from your typical salad and looks really pretty to.

Simple recipe, but good. Just right to add to another dish which uses balsamic vinegar like Lamb Chops with Balsamic Reduction" Complemented each otheralong with some roast potatos

All my dinner guests said this was very good and how pretty it was! (I especially loved the presentation!!) I used fresh mozzarella that I sliced, and upon opening it, I came across a recipe printed on the packaging for tomato mozzarella salad. It used the same ingredients, but with 3 T. Balsamic vinegar and either 1 or 2 teaspoons (can't remember) of dijon mustard! Interesting, huh? I didn't do that, just added the couple splashes of vinegar like most every one else, but I can't help but wonder how much more flavor would be added with those additions....

We used provolone the first time we made it (didn't have any mozzarella) and I personally thought it was better than when I tried it with the mozzarella.

Great recipe. A friend of mine in Germany used to make this all the time. It's quick, and delicious. I also would recommend using fresh mozzarella instead of sliced. I use one 8 oz. ball of mozzarella for every large tomato. And I also recommend a few splashes of balsamic vinegar.

The whole family agrees this is absolutely delicious! We used part skim mozzarella (so as not to take in all the fat and yet not lose the delicious cheese flavor). I definitely will be making this again REALLY SOON!!!
