Caprese has always been a favorite dish of mine. Either as a salad or an appetizer, it’s incredibly simple to put together and there’s no real way to mess it up!Caprese can be a little bit messy if you just layer it together and top with the oil and vinegar. In this recipe, I take the messiness out of equation for an easier way to enjoy this classic dish.
