About Tomato caprese with buffalo mozzarella

Tomato Caprese with Buffalo Mozzarella is a classic Italian dish that highlights fresh, simple ingredients. Originating from the Campania region of Southern Italy, this salad features ripe, juicy tomatoes, creamy buffalo mozzarella, fragrant basil leaves, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and a touch of balsamic vinegar or salt for seasoning. Known for its vibrant colors representing the Italian flag, this dish is not only visually appealing but also nutritionally balanced. Tomatoes are rich in antioxidants like lycopene, while buffalo mozzarella provides high-quality protein and calcium. The olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. However, its calorie and fat content can increase if too much cheese or oil is used. With minimal processing and wholesome ingredients, Tomato Caprese is a light, flavorful option that embodies the essence of Mediterranean cuisine and promotes overall health when enjoyed in moderation.
