Low Sugar Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the pure pleasure of summer produce the way a well-made caprese does. Ripe, juicy tomatoes layered with creamy fresh mozzarella and fragrant basil leaves — it's a combination that needs almost nothing to shine. The dressing here is just a generous drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil, flaky sea salt, and cracked black pepper, so there's no hidden sweetener sneaking in to throw things off. The optional balsamic glaze is the one ingredient worth a quick label check if you're being strict, but it's entirely skippable and the salad is gorgeous without it. Everything comes together on a single platter in minutes, making it an effortless appetizer or a stunning side for any meal. Clean, vibrant, and naturally free of anything processed, this is the kind of recipe that proves simple ingredients done right are always enough.
