Few dishes capture summer as effortlessly as a well-made caprese, and this version is as pure and satisfying as it gets. Ripe, juicy tomatoes and creamy fresh mozzarella are layered together with fragrant basil leaves, then finished with a generous drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a scatter of flaky sea salt. That olive oil is the real hero here — it's a single-ingredient fat with nothing hidden in it, which is exactly what you want when you're steering clear of processed seed oils like canola, soybean, or sunflower. So many restaurant salads and bottled dressings quietly sneak those refined oils in, but this one keeps things completely clean and honest. There's no cooking involved, no complicated technique, and no ingredient list that requires a magnifying glass — just beautiful produce and quality staples doing all the work. A drizzle of balsamic glaze at the end adds a touch of sweetness that makes the whole plate feel a little more special. It's the kind of recipe that proves eating well doesn't have to be complicated.
