Pistachio Free Caprese Salad with Heirloom Tomatoes
Few dishes capture the spirit of summer quite like a classic Caprese, and this version made with heirloom tomatoes takes it to a whole new level. The mix of colors and sizes from the heirloom varieties makes the platter look almost too beautiful to eat — almost. Creamy fresh mozzarella, fragrant basil leaves, and a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil come together in a combination that is simple, fresh, and completely satisfying. A finish of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper brings everything into focus, and a touch of balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy depth if you want it. The whole thing comes together in minutes with zero cooking required, making it perfect for warm evenings when you want something impressive without turning on the stove. Every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there is no label-reading stress — just gorgeous produce and good cheese doing all the work.
