Mozzarella and Tomato Salad, also known as Caprese Salad, originated in the Campania region of Italy. This classic dish is a celebration of fresh, high-quality ingredients. The creamy mozzarella, juicy ripe tomatoes, and fragrant basil are typically drizzled with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze, creating a simple yet flavorful combination. Renowned chefs like Antonio Carluccio and Gennaro Contaldo have popularized this dish, and it has become a staple in Italian cuisine. For the best version of this dish, seek out the freshest buffalo mozzarella and vine-ripened tomatoes. Alternatively, some variations include adding a sprinkle of sea salt or a twist of freshly ground black pepper for added depth of flavor. Today, this dish can be found in authentic Italian restaurants worldwide, but for the most authentic experience, visit the Campania region in Italy.
