The birthplace of caprese is the Italian island of Capri, and the dish owes its color scheme to the Italian flag: red is the tomato, white is the mozzarella, and green is the basil. In our case, it will be caprese with basil pesto sauce. This classic Italian appetizer is quick to prepare, so it is ideal for unexpected guests or a quick snack.
Step 1
Place tomatoes and mozzarella on a plate, slightly overlapping them, alternating them.
Step 2
Season with salt, drizzle with olive oil, top with pesto, basil leaves and serve.
