Few dishes capture summer as effortlessly as a classic Caprese, and this version delivers every bit of that fresh, vibrant magic. Ripe tomatoes and creamy fresh mozzarella are layered together and tucked with fragrant basil leaves, then finished with a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and an optional swirl of balsamic glaze. The result is a platter that looks stunning with almost zero effort — just slice, arrange, and season. Every single ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution gymnastics required. It's also completely gluten free, making it a crowd-pleasing starter or side that genuinely works for a mixed group of guests. Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper are the finishing touches that pull the whole thing together, amplifying the sweetness of the tomatoes and the richness of the mozzarella. Serve it immediately while everything is at its freshest and let the ingredients do all the talking.
