About Mozzarella and tomato salad

Mozzarella and Tomato Salad, often referred to as Caprese Salad, is a dish rooted in Italian cuisine, celebrated for its simplicity and freshness. This salad typically features slices of ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, and fragrant basil, all drizzled with olive oil and sometimes balsamic vinegar. A pinch of salt and freshly cracked pepper enhances its vibrant flavors. It's a nutrient-rich option providing vitamins A and C from tomatoes, calcium and protein from mozzarella, and heart-healthy fats from olive oil. The inclusion of basil adds antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. While this salad is generally healthy, the mozzarella contributes saturated fat, so portion control is key for those monitoring fat intake. A light, flavorful choice, Mozzarella and Tomato Salad is a refreshing starter or side that highlights wholesome Mediterranean ingredients.
