The beauty of Italian cooking lies in its simplicity. This salad features thick slices of sun-ripened tomatoes and creamy fresh mozzarella, layered with fragrant basil leaves. Finished with a lush drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a tangy balsamic glaze, and a final sprinkle of FreshJax® Italian Herb, it’s a refreshing celebration of raw, high-quality ingredients.
Good to Know: For the best flavor, serve your Caprese at room temperature. Cold temperatures mute the delicate fats in the cheese and the volatile oils in the herbs. Letting it sit for 15 minutes before serving allows the herbs to "bloom" in the olive oil.
