One of the staples of Italian cuisine is the Caprese Salad - so easy to make yet so delicious! The most important thing when it comes to Caprese are the ingredients - use good Mozzarella di Bufala and good tomatoes. I usually use either Cuore di Bue (Beefsteak Tomatoes) or Cherry Tomatoes depending on which ones look better when buying them.

When it comes to the Mozzarella I usually buy “the real thing” and not the typical packaged ones from the supermarket as it really makes a difference. I like to eat my Caprese Salad with a fresh Focaccia or some home made bread.
