Steps:

- ADD a whipped cream garnish to make it more special!
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are bright red and free of blemishes.
- If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil. However, fresh basil will give the dish a more intense flavor.
- To make the dish even more flavorful, use a good quality olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice.
- If you are using a balsamic glaze, be sure to reduce it until it is thick and syrupy. This will help it to adhere to the tomatoes and mozzarella.
- Caprese salad is a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. It is also a great dish to take to a potluck or picnic.
