I agree with the other comments (use fresh mozerella, etc.) It's hard to find in some areas. Trader Joe's has it. Italian deli's have it, if you are lucky enough to have one where you live. I just have one suggestion. Drizzle on some Balsamic vinegar along with the olive oil. I travelled all over Italy last summer and ate this salad everywhere. Many places added the Balsamic and it makes a good salad really good!

This is a great light salad. Even my children love it. I like to add a little fresh cracked black pepper to it.

This is a delicious, healthy and beautiful salad that takes only minutes to prepare. I look forward to the homegrown tomatoes and basil from my garden.

This is a great recipe. Another variation on it is to subsitute Feta Cheese for the Mozz. Layer tomato, basil leaf, and Feta on top. Microwave one minute. If you use thick sliced tomato it adds a great deal to the eating experience.

I had eaten this in restaurants before and loved it, so I decided to give it a try at home. I made exactly as the recipe describes except I stacked mine: tomato slice, basil, mozerella, olive oil drizzle. Very simple recipe...and very tasty. Thanks for posting it Tish.

Great recipe!only difference is I used lemon juice intead of balsamic vinegar and I slivered a handfull of basil and sprinkle it on. So glad I found this one again; simply fresh!!!

This recipe is *awesome*, but here's a nifty little hint: Instead of regular mozzarella, use buffalo mozzarella. Add cucumbers to this dish, and spoon a homemade salsa relish (think tomatoes, not heat) on top of the cheese. A superb little dish!

This tastes just like summer! Absolutely delicious. I drizzled some balsamic vinegar on the finished product as well. I could eat this until I pop I did have some leftover and I made Bruschetta with it this morning and melted under the broiler. I'll be making this often, thanks for sharing!

We have had this salad in restaurants before, so I already know we would love it and I certainly was not disappointed! I served this on individual salad plates which worked out perfectly. It's a beautiful salad and a delicious one to boot. Great for a summer supper using garden tomatoes. Thanks Tish!

I loved this recipe. I lived in italy for three years and have been wanting to make a caprese salad. This was so close to the real thing only thing that would have made it better was if i could have gotten some Mozzarella di Bufala
