Recipe Notes
I mentioned that this salad is a simple salad that incorporates fresh ingredients.
This salad should be served just after it has been made. Also mentioned is that this salad uses olive oil as the wet ingredient. By all means, if you prefer the balsamic vinegar as part of your Caprese salad, feel free sub in or drizzle over the salad your choice of a balsamic vinaigrette. However, you can use balsamic vinegar as well as any other clear vinegar or lemon juice.
