Description

Caprese, but not basic. Grandma always added her secret: homemade basil oil that turned a few slices of tomato and mozzarella into something that felt like summer itself. It’s bright, creamy, and so fresh it makes store-bought salad cry. Serve it cold, and serve it proud.

Advice

Use room-temperature tomatoes and cheese for the best flavor. Cold mozzarella is sleepy mozzarella.

Status

Caprese like grandma made it – fresh, creamy, and drizzled with basil magic.
πŸ§€ This is not a side dish. This is a summer statement.
