Oats Free Caprese Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes
Few dishes capture the spirit of summer quite like a platter of ripe, jewel-toned tomatoes layered with creamy fresh mozzarella. Heirloom tomatoes bring a stunning range of colors and a depth of flavor that ordinary supermarket tomatoes simply can't match, making every bite feel a little special. The basil leaves tucked between the slices add a fragrant, peppery lift, while a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together in the most effortless way. A pinch of flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper are all you need to let those ingredients shine, though the optional balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy finish that takes the whole platter up a notch. This is naturally free from grains and cereals of any kind — there's nothing here but fresh produce, good cheese, and quality oil, so you never have to second-guess the ingredient list. It comes together in minutes with zero cooking required, which makes it just as perfect for a relaxed weeknight dinner as it is for entertaining guests.
