Furthermore, Caprese salad can be served either as an appetizer before a heavy meal or as your main course.
Preparation Tips and Suggestions
Many recommend the use of vine-ripened tomatoes. Just make sure that tomatoes are neither overly ripe nor too soft. It is also recommended to avoid using grape or cherry tomatoes.
In addition, for a more varied Caprese recipe, try using large-sized basil leaves or get the ones that are young, firm and those with small leaves. It is recommended to use extra virgin olive oil and, if possible, to find a good variant of mozzarella cheese.http://www.appeal-democrat.com/articles/salad-97203-cheese-caprese.html
