A classic Caprese salad has colors that resemble the Italian flag. For extra zing, I add a splash of balsamic vinegar. -Melba Wilson, Murrells Inlet, SC

This recipe was a bit too complicated for my taste. I prefer simpler recipes with fewer ingredients.

The tomatoes in this recipe were not very flavorful. I think using ripe, in-season tomatoes would have made a big difference.

This salad was way too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less olive oil.

I'm not sure why, but my mozzarella didn't melt. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just stayed in solid form.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I had a few tomatoes that were starting to go bad, and this salad was the perfect way to use them up.

I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes, but I really enjoyed this salad. The flavors were well-balanced, and the mozzarella and basil helped to offset the tartness of the tomatoes.
