Turkey Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the spirit of summer quite like a classic caprese, and this version delivers every bit of that fresh, vibrant energy. Ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves come together in a way that feels effortlessly elegant — the kind of plate that looks like you spent way more time on it than you actually did. A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together, while an optional swirl of balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweet depth that takes it over the top. Every single ingredient here is naturally free of poultry in any form, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress involved — just honest, wholesome produce and cheese. The flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper at the end are small details that make a genuinely noticeable difference in the final bite. Serve it immediately after assembling so the tomatoes stay bright and the basil stays perky — this one is best enjoyed the moment it hits the table.
