Caprese salad 🇮🇹

Caprese salad Ingredients - 1/2 bunch basil - 200ml (6.8 fl oz) olive oil - 4 large ripe tomatoes - 3 balls of mozzarella - balsamic vinegar - sea salt Method Even though it's not classic, I'm a big fan of basil oil instead of EVOO on a Caprese salad. Either way, it's delicious. But if you are going to use EVOO instead of basil oil, make sure you are using a good quality one. 1. To make the basil oil, simply add two big handfuls of picked basil leaves into a jar and blend with the olive oil. (Note: you can get away with just olive oil for this and not use EVOO, but by all means, if you want to go for it) 2. Once blended, pour into a small pot and bring to a light simmer for 5 minutes, pass through a coffee filter, and leave to cool. This will last about 3 weeks in the fridge. 3. Assemble the salad: slice the tomatoes and mozzarella. Alternate a slice of tomato, a slice of mozzarella, and a basil leaf, repeating until all ingredients are used. Season well with sea salt and drizzle with your homemade basil oil (or quality EVOO, if you prefer) and balsamic vinegar. #howto #cooking #foryou #recipe #shortsvideo #shorts #food #salad #cheese #saladrecipe #summer
