A real “go to” s For example, for a BBQ, we have a caprese salad at home. Delicious in all its simplicity, and I usually have all the ingredients in the kitchen or fridge. But in principle, a real caprese is a bit boring. So I like to pimp it up a bit with all kinds of tasty things and then you get this luxurious caprese salad with olives. Not quite "how it is" so but hey who always stays within the lines will never discover other things. And here I like to experiment with different flavors. Incidentally, it remains a very easy salad that you can even prepare well in advance and store in the fridge until use. Caprese salad recipe with pesto.
Luxury caprese salad with olives
Straight from the Neapolitan cuisine, in the colors of the Italian flag, a luxurious caprese salad with olives in the style of Capri! A real classic and normally so tomato, mozzarella, olive oil and some basil leaves. Add a little salt and that's it. So delicious in all its simplicity. A popular dish in Italy as “primo”. In the Netherlands we often eat the main meal on one plate, but they don't do it that way in Italy. In any case, the food culture is very different there than in the Netherlands.
If you sit there for hours at a table, here we eat quickly, preferably at the table within 30 minutes and then off the table again… Quite a pity, but on a busy weekday it is also a bit more complicated.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.
