The issue that sets this Caprese dish with the exception of others? Toss with a straightforward garlic-herb salad dressing initial, then end with a drizzle of balsamy for additional flavour and also the signature look. Appearance nice, tastes even better!
Caprese dish is terrific served as a facet for sharing, as a lightweight meal with crusty bread or heaped onto toast with smashed avocado. Recent and delightful!
