Macadamia Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the essence of summer quite like a classic Caprese — ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves layered together in a way that feels effortlessly elegant. A drizzle of good 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. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden additions sneaking into your spread. The beauty of this salad is in its simplicity — just slice, layer, season, and serve. Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper are the finishing touches that make the flavors pop without overcomplicating things. It comes together in minutes and looks stunning on a platter, making it just as fitting for a weeknight dinner as it is for entertaining guests.
