Caprese Salad with a Mexican Twist

You'll love this authentic Caprese salad recipe. An easy homemade balsamic reduction is a standout over sliced tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil.

On Bastille Day we made a picnic in front of the Eiffel Tower. For the event, I prepared some caprese salad skewers that turned out to be really good, but every time we go on a picnic everyone brings something and end up with a lot of food and have one week worth of leftovers to eat after the reunion. So I made a little revolution with the skewer leftover. Obviously, the quantities of the ingredients used will be at the cook’s discretion.

Revolutionized Caprese Salad

To give a second chance to a salad is not always an easy task, however, it wasn't very difficult to do it with the caprese.

  • Salad bowl
  • Salad serving utensils
  • Small bowl
  • Fork or small whisk
  • 6 cherry tomatoes (cut in half)
  • 6 mozzarella cheese pearls (cut in half)

  1. Mix the cheese, tomatoes, basil, cucumber, and avocado. Season with a well-seasoned vinaigrette prepared with the balsamic-vinegar, lemon, and olive oil.
