Why is it Called Caprese Salad?

A Caprese salad is a simple Italian salad consisting of fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and olive oil. This fresh salad gets its name from the Island of Capri, where it is believed to have originated.

It is said that the dish pays homage to the Italian flag. The salad consists of: red, green, and white ingredients, much like the Italian flag. You can also find Caprese served as pizza, pasta, or sandwiches.

Tomato Mozzarella Salad Ingredients

If you don’t have all your ingredients on hand or growing in your garden, a quick trip to the grocery store will do.

  • Large Roma tomatoes
  • Ripe avocados
  • Fresh mozzarella (Or fresh mozzarella cheese pearls)
  • Fresh basil leaves
  • Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Drizzle olive oil on top of everything, and then sprinkle it with salt and pepper to taste.  Serve fresh or keep chilled in the refrigerator to serve later that day.

Can I serve this in a bowl?

Sure, if you’d prefer to serve this Fresh Tomato Salad in a bowl you totally can.

Chop everything up into bite size chunks, and then add into a bowl, along with olive oil and seasonings. Mix it to fully combine and then serve.

How to Store Tomato Mozzarella Salad

If you find yourself with some leftovers, toss it into an airtight container and store it in the fridge. I find that it’s best eaten within a day, as the avocado quickly browns.
