How to make Tomato, Mozzarella & Basil Salad. Enjoy the flavors of summer any time of year with this fresh Italian salad that's quick and easy to prepare. This salad makes a very quick, simple first course or light lunch. I love this Salad so much it actually hurts. I love it as a main dish salad, I love it as a side dish with chicken, I love it as an appetizer before a meal, I love it as a mid-afternoon snack. Caprese is truly a magical and perfect combination of flavors, textures, and freshness: ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese, basil, and some kind of drizzle of either olive oil or balsamic…or both.
