Peanut Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the spirit of summer quite like a classic Caprese — ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves layered together on a platter. A drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together, and an optional swirl of balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy depth that takes it over the top. The whole thing comes together in minutes with zero cooking required, making it one of the most effortless crowd-pleasers you can put on the table. Every ingredient here is naturally free from peanuts and peanut derivatives, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved. Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper finish it off with just the right amount of seasoning without masking those gorgeous fresh flavors. Serve it immediately for the best texture, and don't be surprised when it disappears before anything else on the spread.
