Brazil Nut 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. The ingredients are beautifully simple — just good produce, quality olive oil, a pinch of flaky sea salt, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze if you're feeling fancy. Every component here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. Alternating the tomato and mozzarella slices and tucking in fresh basil leaves gives you that gorgeous layered look that feels far more impressive than the effort required. A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together and lets the quality of the ingredients do the heavy lifting. This is the kind of dish that disappears fast at a dinner party, yet comes together in minutes with zero cooking required.
