Salad "Caprese" with mozzarella

Caprese salad - so easy to make, fresh and delicious - one of my favorite summer salads. It consists of slices of mozzarella (tender young cheese with a delicate milky taste and elastic texture) alternately laid out on a serving plate, fresh tomatoes and green basil leaves. They came up with a salad on Capri, an amazingly beautiful island located 36 kilometers from Naples: the colors of the ingredients repeat the colors of the Italian flag.
How to cook Salad "Caprese" with mozzarella
Step 1

I recommend washing the mozzarella package with warm water and soap before use, especially if you will give the salad to children (so that microbes do not get on the cheese, which is not cooked in this recipe). Then wipe the package with a paper towel, cut a corner and drain the brine (it will not be needed in the recipe).
Step 2

If the mozzarella is large, put it on a board and cut into slices about 0.5-0.7 cm thick. If the mozzarella is in the form of small balls, it can be used whole.
Step 3

Wash the tomatoes with soap, rinse with cold (preferably filtered) water, pat dry with a paper towel and also cut (in circles) if necessary - if they are large.
Step 4
Wash the basil with cool water, if possible, also rinse with filtered water, then dry it on a paper towel, disassemble it into leaves, removing wilted and with traces of spoilage.
Step 5

On a serving platter, alternate the slices of tomato and mozzarella. Garnish with basil leaves.
Step 6

Drizzle the salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (optional), and season with salt and pepper (optional) to taste. Serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
