Soy Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the spirit of summer quite like this classic Italian salad, built entirely from ingredients that are naturally free of soy in any form. Ripe, juicy tomatoes and creamy fresh mozzarella are layered together in an alternating pattern that looks stunning on a platter without requiring any real effort. Fresh basil leaves tucked between the slices bring a fragrant, herby lift, while a drizzle of good extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together with richness. A finishing touch of flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper makes every bite pop. If you have balsamic glaze on hand, that optional drizzle adds a sweet, tangy depth that takes the whole thing to another level. Because the ingredient list is so short and straightforward, there's no need to scan labels for hidden soy derivatives — everything here is exactly what it looks like. It's the kind of dish that disappears fast, so don't be surprised if you're making a second platter before the night is over.
