Insalata Caprese image

This classic salad is from the island of Capri, just off of Italy's southern coast near Naples. Fresh mozzarella was traditionally made from the milk of the water buffalo, but cow's milk is more commonly used today. Use the highest quality ingredients possible - it makes a difference in this simple salad. Be sure to serve some...
