Almond Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the spirit of summer quite like this Italian classic — ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil layered together on a platter and finished with a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. A touch of balsamic glaze and flaky sea salt pull everything into sharp, satisfying focus. The whole thing comes together in minutes with zero cooking required, which makes it perfect for warm evenings when turning on the oven feels like a crime. For anyone navigating nut allergies, a dish like this is genuinely refreshing to find. Every ingredient here is naturally free from almonds and tree nuts — no hidden nut oils, no almond-flour coatings, no cross-contamination worries from complicated pantry staples. It's also naturally gluten free, so it works beautifully as a crowd-pleasing starter that nearly everyone at the table can enjoy without a second thought. Just source a quality fresh mozzarella and the ripest tomatoes you can find, and the ingredients do all the heavy lifting for you.
