Caprese salad hails from the island of Capri, its red, white and green colours a deliberate nod to the Italian flag.
A simple Italian salad of sliced tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil, dressed with olive oil — colours echoing the Italian flag and flavours needing nothing more.
Arrange alternating slices of tomato and mozzarella on a plate.
Tuck fresh basil leaves between the slices.
Drizzle generously with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
Season with salt and black pepper and serve immediately.
Use the ripest tomatoes and best-quality olive oil you can find — with so few ingredients, each one really matters.
