Pecan Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the pure pleasure of summer produce the way a classic Caprese does — ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves layered together into something that looks almost too pretty to eat. A drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together, and a touch of balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy depth that takes the whole platter up a notch. The ingredients are naturally simple and clean, so there's no need to scan labels for hidden tree nuts or worry about cross-contact from processed foods. This is the kind of dish that comes together in minutes with zero cooking required — just slice, layer, and season. Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper finish it off with just the right amount of savory contrast. Serve it as a starter, a light lunch, or a stunning side at your next gathering, and watch it disappear before anything else on the table.
