BHA & BHT Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad

Few dishes capture summer on a plate quite like this classic Italian combination of ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil. What makes it especially appealing for anyone avoiding synthetic preservatives is how naturally clean the ingredient list already is — every component here is whole and unprocessed, with no packaged shortcuts that might sneak in unwanted additives. Extra-virgin olive oil does the heavy lifting as the dressing, bringing richness without any of the stabilizers or antioxidant preservatives found in many bottled alternatives. The optional balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy finish, so just check the label on whichever brand you reach for to keep things fully on track. Layering the tomatoes and mozzarella in alternating slices isn't just pretty — it means every forkful gets a little of everything. A scatter of flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper ties it all together in the most unfussy, satisfying way. This is the kind of dish that looks impressive enough for a dinner party but comes together in minutes with zero cooking required.
