About Caprese salad

Caprese Salad is a classic Italian dish renowned for its simplicity and vibrant flavors. It traditionally features ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, basil leaves, olive oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Often served as an appetizer or light meal, this salad highlights the natural flavors of its ingredients. Originating from the Campania region of Italy, it is named after the island of Capri. Rich in antioxidants, thanks to the tomatoes and basil, Caprese Salad supports immune health and reduces inflammation. The olive oil offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, while fresh mozzarella provides protein and calcium. However, moderation is advised due to its calorie and fat content from the cheese and oil. Light and refreshing, Caprese Salad is a wholesome choice for those seeking a nutritious dish rooted in Mediterranean cuisine.
