Rye Free Classic Caprese Salad

Few dishes capture summer on a plate quite like this one — ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves layered together in that iconic alternating pattern. A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a pinch of flaky sea salt are all it really takes to make the whole thing sing. The optional balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy finish that takes it from simple to genuinely impressive without any extra effort. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from rye, so there's no label-scanning or ingredient-swapping required — just straightforward, whole-food cooking at its best. That's actually one of the things that makes this salad such a reliable go-to; it's built entirely from fresh produce, good cheese, and pantry staples that carry no hidden grain concerns. Whether you're serving it as a starter, a side, or a light lunch, it comes together in minutes with nothing more than a sharp knife and a platter.
