Caprese salad is a classic Italian salad recipe. It is so simple to make. Just layer a few simple fresh ingredients, drizzle a bit of olive oil and it's ready to eat.
This salad can be arrange on one larger plate or on individual serving plates.
Arrange tomato slices in a circle around the plate, then overlapping towards the center. As you are laying out the tomatoes, place a thin slice of mozzarella cheese on top of each slice of tomato. Place a whole basil leaf on top of the mozzarella cheese.
Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Lightly drizzle extra virgin olive oil over the salad.
