Pescatarian Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the spirit of summer eating quite like a classic Caprese — ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil layered together on a platter and finished with a generous drizzle of good olive oil. The optional balsamic glaze adds a subtle sweet tang that takes the whole thing up a notch without complicating a single step. This is the kind of recipe that lets quality ingredients do all the heavy lifting, so it's worth seeking out the ripest tomatoes and the freshest mozzarella you can find. Everything here is naturally free of gluten, so there's no need to swap or substitute a thing — just assemble and serve. It comes together in minutes with zero cooking required, making it an effortless starter, side, or light lunch that fits seamlessly into a pescatarian lifestyle. Flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper at the finish might seem like small details, but they genuinely make the flavors pop. Whether you're feeding a crowd or just treating yourself, this platter looks stunning and tastes even better.
