What dressing goes on a Caprese salad?
May 6, 2025
There's no need to mix up a special dressing. Just drizzle the salad with some olive oil, balsamic reduction, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper and you're set.
What's in the balsamic reduction?
It may sound fancy, but all it is is balsamic vinegar that's cooked down until it's a little thicker. You can make it that way or buy a bottle of balsamic glaze from the grocery store to keep things even easier.
Can you use balsamic vinegar instead of balsamic reduction?
Sure! Balsamic vinegar won't be as thick or sweet as balsamic reduction, but a splash will add some flavor and acidity to the salad.
Is Caprese salad healthy?
Made with fresh, wholesome ingredients, Caprese salad is definitely a healthy choice in my book! The ripe tomatoes are packed with vitamins and nutrients, while the olive oil and fresh mozzarella cheese provide healthy fats and some protein.
What kind of mozzarella cheese do you use in Caprese salad?
Now is the time to splurge for the fresh stuff. Using one of those squared off blocks of hard mozzarella cheese isn't going to have the same effect here; you need a ball of soft, spongey fresh mozzarella cheese. For tasty option to use in place of fresh mozzarella, you could always use burrata. They have similar flavors but burrata has a deliciously creamy center.
