About Tomato and mozzarella salad

Tomato and Mozzarella Salad, also known as Insalata Caprese, is a classic Italian dish that highlights simple, fresh ingredients. It features ripe tomato slices layered with creamy fresh mozzarella and fragrant basil leaves, traditionally drizzled with olive oil and sometimes balsamic vinegar. A sprinkle of salt and pepper brings out the natural flavors. This salad is celebrated for its vibrant colors, representing the Italian flag, and its light, refreshing taste. Nutritionally, it is a wholesome choice rich in antioxidants like lycopene from tomatoes and healthy fats from olive oil. Fresh mozzarella provides protein and calcium, essential for muscle and bone health. However, its sodium content can be a concern, so moderation is important for those watching salt intake. Low-carb and naturally gluten-free, this Mediterranean classic is a flavorful, balanced option that fits well into a variety of healthy eating plans.
