Pistachio Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture summer on a plate quite like this classic Italian salad, with its jewel-bright tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves layered together in one stunning arrangement. The combination of ripe tomatoes and good-quality extra-virgin olive oil does most of the heavy lifting here, and a drizzle of balsamic glaze takes the whole thing somewhere truly special. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved — just clean, simple produce and dairy. It comes together in minutes with nothing more than a sharp knife and a serving platter, making it an effortless choice for entertaining or a weeknight starter. The flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper finish each bite with just the right amount of contrast against the mild, milky mozzarella. Serve it immediately after assembling so the tomatoes stay vibrant and the basil holds its color and aroma.
