CLASSIC CAPRESE SALAD



Classic Caprese Salad image

This classic summer dish doesn't get any simpler or more delicious. Use different-colored heirloom tomatoes for the prettiest salad, and buffalo milk mozzarella for the best tasting one.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     brunch, easy, lunch, weekday, salads and dressings, appetizer, side dish

Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound fresh, best-quality mozzarella (preferably buffalo milk)
4 medium heirloom tomatoes
1 bunch fresh basil, leaves only, some reserved for garnish
Flaky sea salt, such as Maldon
Coarsely ground black pepper
High-quality extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • While mozzarella is cold, slice it into 1/4-inch slices. Let it sit, loosely covered, to come to room temperature while you prepare the tomatoes.
  • Slice the tomatoes into 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thick slices, leaving them in a single layer on the cutting board as you go. Sprinkle generously with salt.
  • On a serving platter, arrange the mozzarella, tomato slices, and whole basil leaves so they overlap slightly. Pour any tomato juices from the cutting board over the dish. Sprinkle again with salt and pepper, and drizzle with plenty of oil. Top with reserved basil, and serve.

Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze image

In this jazzed up Caprese salad, a balsamic glaze adds a pop of tangy-sweet flavor to every bite.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Salads

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 heirloom or vine-ripened tomatoes, cut into ¼-inch slices
½ teaspoon sugar
½ teaspoon salt, divided
1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into ¼-inch slices (pre-sliced is fine)
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Balsamic glaze (store-bought), for drizzling
¼ cup roughly chopped fresh basil, plus more whole sprigs to garnish the platter

Steps:

  • Arrange the tomato slices on a cutting board. Sprinkle with sugar and ¼ teaspoon of the salt and let sit for a few minutes until the sugar dissolves.
  • Arrange the sliced tomatoes on a serving platter, alternating with the sliced mozzarella. Sprinkle evenly with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil over top, followed by an equal amount of the balsamic glaze (it's fine to just eyeball it). Scatter the roughly chopped basil over top. Garnish the platter with sprigs of fresh basil, if desired.

CAPRESE ANTIPASTO



Caprese Antipasto image

If you have ever eaten a caprese salad and wished that you could linger with it longer, that there were more tomatoes to spear with your fork, or more milky slices of cheese on the plate, then this is the dish for you. Best at the height of tomato season, it embellishes on the classic caprese, taking its five simple elements - mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, salt and olive oil - and adding roasted peppers, caperberries (or capers), olive and prosciutto. The result is a luscious lunch or light dinner that will make your dining companions swoon. You will wonder why you didn't think of it sooner. Serve with a crusty loaf of bread on the side.

Categories     quick, weeknight, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ripe bell peppers, 1 red and 1 yellow if possible
Salt and pepper
Extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound fresh mozzarella, at room temperature
2 pounds ripe tomatoes, in assorted colors if possible
1/2 pound cherry tomatoes, in assorted colors if possible
Handful of caperberries, or 1 tablespoon large capers, rinsed
Handful of good-quality olives
6 thin slices of prosciutto, more if desired
Handful of basil leaves

Steps:

  • To roast peppers, set them directly in the flames of a stovetop gas burner turned to high, or over hot coals if you happen to be grilling. (You could also roast under the broiler, with peppers as close to heat source as possible.) Turn peppers with tongs until skins are blackened and blistered all over, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a plate and let cool. To peel, cut peppers lengthwise. Scrape seeds and veins away with your knife, then turn peppers over and scrape away charred skin. Slice peeled peppers into 1/2-inch ribbons and place in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then add 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss. (Peppers may be roasted up to a day ahead.)
  • Cut mozzarella into 1/4-inch slices. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch slices and halve cherry tomatoes.
  • Arrange mozzarella slices in the center of a large platter. Surround with tomatoes and sprinkle lightly with salt. Add roasted pepper strips, caperberries and olives. Drape prosciutto around the platter. Garnish with basil leaves. Drizzle generously with olive oil and serve.
