Prepare the Tomatoes:

• Core and slice the tomatoes. If using large tomatoes, consider quartering the slices. Arrange them snugly on a serving platter.

• Sprinkle the tomato slices with salt to enhance their natural sweetness.

Add the Mozzarella:

• Place slices of fresh mozzarella on top of the tomato slices. If the mozzarella is pre-sliced, you can halve the slices to fit better.

Layer the Basil:

• Tear fresh basil leaves into inch-long pieces and distribute them over the mozzarella.

Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze:

• Generously drizzle balsamic glaze over the assembled tomato, mozzarella, and basil layers.

Serve:

• Serve the Caprese salad immediately as a light lunch or a refreshing appetizer.
