Caprese Salad
Caprese salad takes its name from the island of Capri near Naples in southern Italy, meaning 'salad in the style of Capri.' It's a fresh, simple salad made by layering ripe tomatoes and fresh mozzarella, then drizzling with balsamic dressing.

Wash the tomatoes and remove the stems, then slice the tomatoes and mozzarella into bite-sized pieces. Keeping the two roughly the same size makes for a nicer presentation. Rinse the salad greens under running water and shake off the excess, and wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.
