Hazelnut Free No-Cook Caprese Salad

Few dishes capture summer on a plate quite like this classic Italian salad — ripe tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fragrant basil leaves layered together in a way that looks effortlessly impressive. A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil ties everything together, and a finishing touch of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper brings out every bit of flavor. If you want a little extra depth, a thin ribbon of balsamic glaze adds a sweet, tangy note that takes the whole thing up a notch. The best part is that there is absolutely no cooking involved — just slice, arrange, and serve, which means it comes together in minutes and leaves almost no cleanup. Tree nut allergies can make navigating restaurant dishes or store-bought dressings genuinely stressful, but this recipe keeps things beautifully simple with ingredients that are naturally free of any nut-based oils or hidden additives. Every component here is straightforward and easy to verify, so you can put it on the table with total confidence. It works equally well as a starter, a light lunch, or a stunning side alongside grilled proteins on a warm evening.
