Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes are as effortlessly beautiful as a classic Caprese, and this version delivers all that sun-ripened flavor without a single ingredient that could trip up a gluten-free lifestyle. Ripe tomatoes and fresh mozzarella are naturally free of gluten, so there's no swapping or substituting required — just honest, simple ingredients doing exactly what they do best. The slices are layered and slightly overlapping on a platter, then tucked with fresh basil leaves for that signature pop of green. A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together, and an optional balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy finish if you're feeling a little extra. Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper at the end make every bite taste like it came from a restaurant in the Italian countryside. This one serves four and comes together in minutes, making it the kind of no-fuss starter or side that looks far more impressive than the effort involved.
