Wheat Free Classic Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the spirit of summer quite like this layered arrangement of ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil. The ingredients are simple, but the result is stunning — a platter that looks like it belongs on a restaurant table and comes together in minutes. Every component here is naturally free of wheat and gluten-containing grains, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or swap anything out. Ripe, juicy tomatoes do the heavy lifting on flavor, while the fresh mozzarella adds a rich, milky softness that balances every bite. A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties it all together, and a pinch of flaky sea salt makes the whole thing sing. The optional balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweetness and acidity that takes the salad from simple to seriously impressive. Serve it as a starter, a side, or honestly just eat it straight off the platter — no one will judge you.
