Caprese salad with capers is a delightful Italian dish that combines simplicity and sophistication. The classic caprese, named after the island of Capri, is famous for its harmony of fresh tomatoes, tender mozzarella, and fragrant basil. In this version, its flavor is enriched with tangy capers that add a light salty sharpness, while pesto and balsamic cream provide depth of taste. Thin layers of tomatoes and cheese alternate to create an elegant composition on the plate. The delicate, creamy taste of mozzarella perfectly complements the sweet-sour notes of balsamic cream, while sesame adds a light crunchy texture. Caprese salad with capers is the perfect dish for a summer dinner, appetizer or light snack that embodies the best traditions of Mediterranean cuisine.
