Coconut Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture summer on a plate quite like this classic Italian arrangement of ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves. The beauty here is in the quality of the ingredients — thick-sliced tomatoes and pillowy mozzarella do most of the heavy lifting, finished with a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a touch of balsamic glaze if you're feeling fancy. Every single ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from coconut in any form, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. It comes together in minutes with zero cooking required — just slice, arrange, and drizzle. The flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper at the end might seem like small details, but they genuinely elevate the whole platter. Serve it immediately for the best texture and flavor, whether it's anchoring a dinner party spread or sitting alongside a quiet weeknight meal.
