Macadamia Free No-Cook Caprese Salad
Few dishes capture the spirit of summer quite like this classic Italian salad, and the beauty of it is that no cooking is required whatsoever. Ripe, juicy tomatoes and creamy fresh mozzarella are layered together in an alternating pattern, then finished with fragrant basil leaves, a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and a scatter of flaky sea salt. A touch of balsamic glaze at the end adds a subtle sweet-tangy note that ties everything together beautifully. The whole thing comes together in minutes and looks stunning on a platter, making it just as fitting for a weeknight dinner as it is for entertaining guests. Every ingredient here is naturally free from tree nuts of any kind, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just clean, vibrant produce doing all the heavy lifting. Serve it immediately while the tomatoes are at their freshest and the mozzarella is still cool and silky.
