Because they're so darn scrumptious on their own, the best summer tomato recipes let the tomato take center stage — which is where this easy caprese salad comes in. All we've added is a milky mozzarella, fragrant fresh basil, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, a spoonful of balsamic glaze, and a shower of flaky sea salt to help draw out the sweet tomato juices. Caprese Salad is made with fresh mozzarella cheese.

This is different to the mozzarella cheese you grate and sprinkle onto things to bake and melt. Fresh mozzarella is soft, and unlike most cheeses, it is not salty. It has a flavour similar to ricotta - though the texture is different. The wonderful flavours of the Mediterranean are blended together in this salad. Ripe tomatoes are tossed with mozzarella, red onion, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and fresh basil.
