Insalata Caprese Salad

Caprese Salad is the best using Buffalo Milk Mozzarella, Cheese and fresh tomatoes.


The Authentic style is tomatoes, fresh buffalo milk mozzarella, and fresh Italian basil leaves.


You can add whatever you like to your dish but the real way is just tomato, cheese, and basil.
