I have Cherokee purple and san marzanos growing in the back yard along with a giant bush of sweet basil that smells amazing. Can't wait for those greenies to ripen up.
My favorite salad. The cheese, tomatoes and olive oil are the true stars of this salad. Wine and bread truly make a complete meal. I even go to Whole Foods to buy "Buf" which is similar to the buffalo mozzarella. I have to admit I'm not a balsamic vinegar fan with this dish. Living in southern Italy for a few years it wasn't drizzled on the salad. Summer was made for this dish.
Tomatoes with a little salt, fresh mozzarella, basil and the best olive oil you can buy. Anything else isn't actually in the recipe. You asked! But I'd like it with balsamic once in a while. The acid really comes from the tomatoes and salt. Love your channel!
Every time my husband and I go to Key West we always go to my favorite restaurant (Red Fish Blue Fish) order our Shrimp Po-Boy and a Caprese salad!😍😍😍 YUMMY!
My Husband is Italian (from Firenze) and we live in Spain. We eat this all the time. We call those tomatoes, tomatoes (not heirloom) and we would not use balsamic vinegar, put it on the table in case someone wants it, but its too strong a flavor for this salad. You could use some Oregano on it though. Serve it along side a good bread and that famous Spanish cured ham with melon and we eat this all summer when we are not making a bar BBQ
Heirloom tomatoes are so incredibly beautiful and delicious! I’m a big fan of individual servings. Buffets are not my thing at all for various reasons (largely dietary and hygiene related). I absolutely adore caprese salad and now I wish I had the ingredients to make it tomorrow for my birthday dinner!
It’s a rustic salad so those tomatoes are perfect.. I’ve made this salad but I put it on a large toothpicks and served it individually....salad on a stick was very popular..
I have 6 different versions of Caprese salad on my blog and I ran here to see you ssembling the easiest most delicious Italian dish! Does this means I love Caprese or your videos or both! I guess I love you chico!
I’m sure it’s all wrong, but I julienne my basil for this salad. I just find it makes it easier to eat and distributes the basil better. (I’m so not Italian! Scottish/American)
I line up the tomatoes and cheese alternately, then chiffonade the basil. I drizzle olive oil and balsamic reduction and salt and pepper over the tomatoes and cheese, then sprinkle the basil over the top of all that. Yum!
Simple but oh so satisfying. Remember to sprinkle salt on tomatoes to bring out flavour And you can use Thai basil for a slight lemon flavour or original Italian sweet basil.
Making this tomorrow, thanks for the recipe! Have you tried a tomato corer? They're also good for strawberries and artichokes. Less hazardous than my knife skills.
I agree a tomato corer is useful little tool. I tend to agree with Alton Brown about disliking uni-tasker tools in the kitchen but in the case of the tomato or strawberry corer I make an exception.
I dont know if this was mentioned below, but isnt the point of a Caprese Salad that the colours of the ingredients the same as the colours of the Italian flag? Therefore, although I also love heritage tomatoes, wouldn't it be best to use red heritage tomatoes only? I love your videos John and your sense of humour.
Hey my name is sophia and I love. Your videos I’ve been trying to search the Internet to find easy rhubarb pie recipe that taste delicious but all the recipes and videos online or either a super old and the clarity of the videos bad or be there over complicated and when I tried to make them the flavor didn’t come through could you please make a rhubarb pie recipe for me?🍰
I love that, "if you're italiian and watching this let me know what I did wrong" haha

I don't find to many RUclips videos without music 🎶. I'm a fan for life.
Remember to generously SALT your tomatoes, it's a crime and life changing step. Heirloom tomatoes deserve the respect.
Party-Mega Tray...for one!!! :D

That party tray would be a serving for one (me) in my house. Gorgeous.
Beautiful, healthy salad.
Also thank you for not having any crazy music in the background
I make this all the time. Same technique and same fresh ingredients. Love it!
Nothing better than a fresh salad ♥️🥗
Love that salad with fresh ciabatta bread 🤤

Yes yes yes Caprese Salad is so yummy. I love tomatoes. I eat them every day. 😋
We LOVE caprese salad! We actually add prosciutto and a balsamic reduction sauce. Oh man... the balsamic takes it over the top!

Great recipe, Super Fresh and EAsy to make
I love a little pesto drizzled with a little balsamic on the bottom of the plate too. I add more salt on the tomatoes. Love your videos!
I wish you could do a video on making a pizza margherita or a white pizza. I’m still looking for a good pizza dough.
Ok......my favorite....favorite....salad.....💗

Lol @ the "Double Virgo moment". My boyfriend is a Virgo perfectionist. He has a Taurus moon so he's super stubborn about perfectionism as well! 😂
Thank you, John! This looks wonderful!
That looks amazing!! What's also amazing is to get some Jared tuna or albacore from Italy or Spain. Perfect on top and maybe a few capers.
I HAD to try this! It’s brilliant!
Delicious and healthy love ❤️ it! 😍
Can you recommend a really good balsamic vinegar?
Wow your basil!😍😍😍😍😍🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🧜♀️

Hi😎My friend😍I love your Salad🥗💙🥗Thanks for videos💖Bangkok Thailand🇹🇭💜🇹🇭💜🇹🇭💜💘💘💘
Oooooo yeeessssss!😍
i can eat that whole thing all by myself but i wont cause i will get a stomach ache, that is my favorite salad.
trader joes has a great balsamic vinegar. it's the one with the gold label.$5.99
try a baking soda paste for the capsacin oils, let dry before washing off.
I wanna see you make something with a lemonade theme. Since it’s summer and all. Like maybe a lemonade cookie/?
Yum!
Double Virgo Moment! 🤣🤣🤣
“They make my heart sing !........ as much as a tomato CAN “
😆
Yum! My father-in-law is Italian, so it's nice to have some good go-to recipes of Italian food to impress the in-laws.
Have you ever tried making caprese with bocconcini or polpette di buffala? We love those in Italy!
looks so yummie
Yum!!
Had to watch the ads to give you that sweet revenue. Love your channel!! (Still waiting to meet the husband)

Color doesn't matter, als long as the tomatoes are tasty. (They look decent.)
OMG 😮 Gorgeous 💕🤤

I made a caprese salad for lunch. So delicious. Love your videos as they are well done. Thank you.
Has anyone tried to make a hybrid between a caprese salad and a BLT?
