Yeast Free Gluten Free Caprese Salad
Few dishes are as effortlessly beautiful as a well-assembled Caprese, and this version delivers all that classic Italian charm without a single complicated step. Ripe, juicy tomatoes and creamy fresh mozzarella are layered together and finished with fragrant basil, a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and a touch of flaky sea salt — simple ingredients doing exactly what they do best. For anyone navigating a yeast-free lifestyle, this is the kind of recipe that feels like a gift, since there's nothing hidden to worry about and no label-reading required. The optional balsamic glaze adds a subtle sweet tang that takes the whole platter up a notch without introducing anything problematic. It comes together in minutes with zero cooking, making it ideal as a starter, a light lunch, or a stunning side that looks far more impressive than the effort involved. Serve it immediately so the tomatoes stay vibrant and the mozzarella stays cool and fresh.
