Rye 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 almost too pretty to eat. A generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a scatter of flaky sea salt bring everything into focus, while an optional swirl of balsamic glaze adds a touch of sweet, tangy depth. The best part? There is absolutely no cooking involved, which means you are not hovering over a stove — just assembling and serving. For anyone navigating grain sensitivities, this recipe is a natural fit because every single ingredient is inherently free from rye and any grain-based fillers or thickeners. No label-scanning required, no swaps needed — just honest, whole ingredients doing exactly what they do best. It is the kind of dish that works as a starter, a side, or honestly a light lunch all on its own, and it comes together in minutes.
