I have Cherokee purple and san marzanos growing in the back yard along with a giant bush of sweet basil that smells amazing. Can't wait for those greenies to ripen up.
Tomatoes with a little salt, fresh mozzarella, basil and the best olive oil you can buy. Anything else isn't actually in the recipe. You asked! But I'd like it with balsamic once in a while. The acid really comes from the tomatoes and salt. Love your channel!
My favorite salad. The cheese, tomatoes and olive oil are the true stars of this salad. Wine and bread truly make a complete meal. I even go to Whole Foods to buy "Buf" which is similar to the buffalo mozzarella. I have to admit I'm not a balsamic vinegar fan with this dish. Living in southern Italy for a few years it wasn't drizzled on the salad. Summer was made for this dish.
Every time my husband and I go to Key West we always go to my favorite restaurant (Red Fish Blue Fish) order our Shrimp Po-Boy and a Caprese salad!😍😍😍 YUMMY!
Heirloom tomatoes are so incredibly beautiful and delicious! I’m a big fan of individual servings. Buffets are not my thing at all for various reasons (largely dietary and hygiene related). I absolutely adore caprese salad and now I wish I had the ingredients to make it tomorrow for my birthday dinner!
It’s a rustic salad so those tomatoes are perfect.. I’ve made this salad but I put it on a large toothpicks and served it individually....salad on a stick was very popular..
I have 6 different versions of Caprese salad on my blog and I ran here to see you ssembling the easiest most delicious Italian dish! Does this means I love Caprese or your videos or both! I guess I love you chico!
My Husband is Italian (from Firenze) and we live in Spain. We eat this all the time. We call those tomatoes, tomatoes (not heirloom) and we would not use balsamic vinegar, put it on the table in case someone wants it, but its too strong a flavor for this salad. You could use some Oregano on it though. Serve it along side a good bread and that famous Spanish cured ham with melon and we eat this all summer when we are not making a bar BBQ
I’m sure it’s all wrong, but I julienne my basil for this salad. I just find it makes it easier to eat and distributes the basil better. (I’m so not Italian! Scottish/American)
Simple but oh so satisfying. Remember to sprinkle salt on tomatoes to bring out flavour And you can use Thai basil for a slight lemon flavour or original Italian sweet basil.
Making this tomorrow, thanks for the recipe! Have you tried a tomato corer? They're also good for strawberries and artichokes. Less hazardous than my knife skills.
I agree a tomato corer is useful little tool. I tend to agree with Alton Brown about disliking uni-tasker tools in the kitchen but in the case of the tomato or strawberry corer I make an exception.
Hey my name is sophia and I love. Your videos I’ve been trying to search the Internet to find easy rhubarb pie recipe that taste delicious but all the recipes and videos online or either a super old and the clarity of the videos bad or be there over complicated and when I tried to make them the flavor didn’t come through could you please make a rhubarb pie recipe for me?🍰
I dont know if this was mentioned below, but isnt the point of a Caprese Salad that the colours of the ingredients the same as the colours of the Italian flag? Therefore, although I also love heritage tomatoes, wouldn't it be best to use red heritage tomatoes only? I love your videos John and your sense of humour.
I smile every single time i watch you cook...your comments are so funny and quirky!!

Amazing!!!😍
The way you explain things is very polite, respectful and clear. Thank you for that!!! It's a joy watching you cook. Saludos desde Costa Rica. 😘🇨🇷
I love that, "if you're italiian and watching this let me know what I did wrong" haha

I’m Italian and this looks perfect 😭😭😭

I don't find to many TH-cam videos without music 🎶. I'm a fan for life.
Also thank you for not having any crazy music in the background
That party tray would be a serving for one (me) in my house. Gorgeous.
Every time my husband and I go to Key West we always go to my favorite restaurant (Red Fish Blue Fish) order our Shrimp Po-Boy and a Caprese salad!😍😍😍 YUMMY!
I make this all the time. Same technique and same fresh ingredients. Love it!
Very simple yet delicious. Thanks chef for sharing this wonderful recipe
I love this salad! Thanks you are a wonderful chef and person too!
Remember to generously SALT your tomatoes, it's a crime and life changing step. Heirloom tomatoes deserve the respect.
Beautiful, healthy salad.
You are just such a likeable human being, so wholesome. Love your videos
I love a little pesto drizzled with a little balsamic on the bottom of the plate too. I add more salt on the tomatoes. Love your videos!
That looks so delicious. Thank you for showing this recipe.
Party-Mega Tray...for one!!! :D
🍅🧀🍃

Literally my favourite salad
Great recipe, Super Fresh and EAsy to make
I really love your utensils...gold, rose gold...my kitchen goals!
Definitely a favorite for me!!! So delicious!
That looks amazing!! What's also amazing is to get some Jared tuna or albacore from Italy or Spain. Perfect on top and maybe a few capers.
My husbands family is from Italy and I can tell you, you did an amazing job! 😍 it looks absolutely perfect 👌🏼
This must be my most favourite flavour combination ever!

Now you're helping me diet John 😂. Keep up the good work! Love all your recipes ❤️
I wish you could do a video on making a pizza margherita or a white pizza. I’m still looking for a good pizza dough.
I’m sure it’s all wrong, but I julienne my basil for this salad. I just find it makes it easier to eat and distributes the basil better. (I’m so not Italian! Scottish/American)

I made a caprese salad for lunch. So delicious. Love your videos as they are well done. Thank you.
Hey John, I wonder if using a little petite four cutter would help with the cube thing...looks yummy.
Having friends over tonight - I know what I'm making for an appetizer!
Hi😎My friend😍I love your Salad🥗💙🥗Thanks for videos💖Bangkok Thailand🇹🇭💜🇹🇭💜🇹🇭💜💘💘💘
I wanna see you make something with a lemonade theme. Since it’s summer and all. Like maybe a lemonade cookie/?

I won't be able to make this but it looks good
Love your Channel ❤️ who else?
Great meal 👍🏻✨I love salad 🥰💕
Oh good morning Sir, Happy Saturday 😘😘
Has anyone tried to make a hybrid between a caprese salad and a BLT?
Yum yum
That is what I need
Have you ever tried making caprese with bocconcini or polpette di buffala? We love those in Italy!
i can eat that whole thing all by myself but i wont cause i will get a stomach ache, that is my favorite salad.
Wow your basil!😍😍😍😍😍🎶🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵🧜♀️
🌱
Can you recommend a really good balsamic vinegar?
Beautiful ❤️
Hey my name is sophia and I love.

“They make my heart sing !........ as much as a tomato CAN “

Had to watch the ads to give you that sweet revenue. Love your channel!! (Still waiting to meet the husband)
Yum!

Color doesn't matter, als long as the tomatoes are tasty. (They look decent.)
Italian approved 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹
Double Virgo Moment! 🤣🤣🤣

Yum!!
Oooooo yeeessssss!😍
Your intro was "Hi Bakers"...and then you proceeded to make a salad.
While assembling the salad, just remember the Italian flag, green-white-red
