Vegetarian Mediterranean Caprese Salad with Feta and Olives

Ripe, juicy tomatoes and creamy fresh mozzarella get layered into an elegant, overlapping platter, then finished with briny Kalamata olives, thin slivers of red onion, and fresh basil tucked throughout. A quick whisk of olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and dried oregano makes a bright, herby dressing that pulls the whole platter together. A pinch of flaky sea salt at the end sharpens every flavor and makes the colors pop even more. It's a no-cook, minutes-to-assemble dish that works beautifully as a starter, a side, or a light lunch on its own. Simple, colorful, and packed with fresh produce, this is a natural fit for a vegetarian table and a great one to put on repeat all summer long.
