Caprese Salad

The classic Italian summer salad in the colors of the flag — tomato, mozzarella, and basil — finished with a dressing built around herbs and a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Bocconcini (small mozzarella balls) pick up the dressing better than slices and make the salad far more shareable at the table.
