Ingredients:

  • 2 balls of fresh mozzarella cheese
  • 9 medium-sized tomatoes, preferably ripe and juicy
  • 1 bunch of fresh basil leaves
  • 1 small red onion
  • 1/2 lime
  • Italian balsamic vinegar
  • Himalayan salt (or sea salt), to taste
  • Chilli-infused olive oil, for drizzling

Instructions:

  1. Preparation:

    • Slice the mozzarella cheese into rounds, about 1/4 inch thick.
    • Wash and dry the tomatoes. Slice them into rounds of similar thickness to the mozzarella.
    • Rinse the basil leaves and pat them dry with paper towels. Remove any tough stems.
    • Peel and thinly slice the red onion.
    • Cut the lime in half.
  2. Assembling the Salad:

    • On a large serving platter, arrange the tomato slices, alternating with slices of mozzarella cheese.
    • Tuck basil leaves in between the tomato and mozzarella slices, distributing them evenly across the platter.
    • Scatter the sliced red onion over the top of the salad.
  3. Seasoning:

    • Squeeze the juice from the half lime evenly over the salad.
    • Drizzle Italian balsamic vinegar over the salad, ensuring each slice of tomato and mozzarella gets a bit of vinegar.
    • Sprinkle Himalayan salt (or sea salt) over the salad, to taste.
  4. Finishing Touches:

    • Drizzle a generous amount of chilli-infused olive oil over the salad, adding a hint of heat and flavor.
  5. Serve:

    • Serve the Caprese salad immediately as a refreshing appetizer or a light main course.
    • Optionally, you can serve with crusty bread or a side of mixed greens for a more substantial meal.
