Strawberry Caprese Salad

Here’s a company-worthy dish that’s healthy, delicious, and makes a stunning presentation anywhere you serve it. Best of all, it requires no cooking and takes only minutes to throw together. It’s a variation on caprese, the ubiquitous Italian salad of fresh mozzarella, sun-ripened tomatoes, and fresh basil. Here, strawberries are the star, complemented with sweet cherry tomatoes that are available year-round. Use the most flavorful, highest quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar you can get your hands on for maximum effect. It’s adapted from a recipe in “The Forest Feast.”

Serves 4-6.

Ingredients

· 16 ounces fresh strawberries, trimmed and quartered

· 1 cup halved yellow or multi-colored cherry tomatoes

· 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, torn in pieces

· 1 cup torn basil leaves

· 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

· 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

· Freshly cracked pepper

· Flaky salt

Instructions

1. Scatter the quartered strawberries, halved tomatoes, and mozzarella pieces on a platter.

2. Distribute the basil leaves over the top. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar.

3. Season with a few grindings of black pepper and a sprinkle of flaky salt.
