Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad

This Heirloom Tomato Caprese Salad is the prettiest – and arguably the simplest – salad you will make this summer. Caprese salad is a summer staple. Serve as hors d’oeuvres for any summer soirée or as a hearty appetizer.

This salad pairs wonderfully with any grilled chicken, fish, or steak!

Serves 4-6

You’ll Need

4 -6 medium heirloom tomatoes (we like to choose different sizes and colours), sliced into wedges
2 cups mini buffalo mozzarella balls, drained and patted dry
1/2 small red onion, very thinly sliced (optional)
10 basil leaves, roughly torn
3 tbsp good quality olive oil
2 tbsp good quality balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp sea salt
cracked black pepper

1

In a large bowl, combine the tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, basil, and red onion (if using.) Sprinkle with sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
2

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic, sea salt, and pepper. Drizzle over salad and toss to coat.
Divide between plates and serve immediately.
