This ultimate Caprese salad is a celebration of simple, high-quality ingredients, making it a standout high-protein starter or light lunch. By using a variety of heirloom tomatoes in different shapes and colours, you create a beautiful contrast in both texture and sweetness that far surpasses the standard supermarket variety. The secret to success lies in using creamy buffalo mozzarella at room temperature, which ensures a soft, velvety mouthfeel that pairs perfectly with the acidity of the fruit.

Taking the time to let the salad sit for half an hour is essential, as this allows the salt to draw out the fragrant juices, creating a natural dressing when mixed with the extra-virgin olive oil. Serve this vibrant platter with thick slices of toasted country bread to soak up the delicious pooling liquids. It is an effortless yet sophisticated dish that brings a taste of the Italian summer to your table.

Ingredients for Ultimate Caprese Salad

575ml mixed cherry tomatoes, preferably heirloom, halved
110ml (or more) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Sal marina en escamas
900g mixed medium and large tomatoes, preferably heirloom, cut into thin slices and/or wedges
230g buffalo mozzarella or mozzarella, room temperature, torn into pieces
Pimienta negra molida gruesa
Small basil leaves and toasted country bread (for serving)

How to make Ultimate Caprese Salad

Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tablespoon oil in a small bowl; season with salt.

Arrange tomato slices on a platter, slightly overlapping; season generously with salt. Arrange mozzarella over tomatoes; lightly season mozzarella with salt. Spoon cherry tomatoes over salad and drizzle with 6 tablespoons oil; season with pepper. Let stand 30 minutes to let flavours meld and release juices from tomatoes and mozzarella.

Top salad with basil and additional salt and oil, if desired. Serve with bread alongside.
