The Insalata Caprese Salad Recipe is a fresh salad made from ripe red tomatoes and super soft and fresh mozzarella cheese. In my visit to Italy in the Summer of 2014, there was not one meal that went by without having this salad. The term Caprese, came from Capri, which is very famous for its fresh tomatoes, lemons and cheese. The Caprese Salad makes a great summertime dish for dinner or even for parties. The addition of red wine vinaigrette is not authentic, but I sometimes like that tartness from the vinaigrette. Serve the Insalata Caprese Salad fresh as an appetizer along with Crispy Eggless Bread Pinwheels Recipe and Orange Mocktail Recipe to begin your Italian Meal.
