Celery Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the ease and beauty of summer eating quite like this classic Italian salad. Ripe, juicy tomatoes layered with creamy fresh mozzarella and fragrant basil leaves make for a combination that's as stunning on the table as it is satisfying to eat. A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together, and an optional swirl of balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweet, tangy depth that takes it over the top. The whole thing comes together in minutes with zero cooking required — just thoughtful layering and a light hand with the seasoning. Every ingredient here is naturally free from celery and celery derivatives, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden plant-based fillers sneaking into your meal. Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper finish the platter with just the right amount of contrast. It's the kind of dish that looks like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
