Wheat Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes are as effortlessly beautiful as a well-assembled Caprese, and this one delivers all the classic Italian charm without a single grain of wheat in sight. Ripe, juicy tomatoes and creamy fresh mozzarella are the stars here, layered together and finished with fragrant basil leaves for a combination that tastes like summer on a plate. A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together, while the optional balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy depth that takes the whole platter up a notch. Because every ingredient is naturally free from wheat and gluten-containing grains, there's no substituting or reformulating needed — this is just real, whole food at its best. It's the kind of dish that looks like you spent way more effort than you actually did, making it perfect for entertaining or a quick weeknight starter. Serve it immediately after assembling so the tomatoes stay vibrant and the mozzarella stays fresh and soft.
