Spinach Caprese Salad combines the classic Caprese ingredients with fresh spinach. A refreshing and nutrient-rich twist on the traditional salad!
You’ll need fresh spinach, ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil leaves, extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
Wash and dry the spinach leaves thoroughly. Remove any tough stems. Place in a large salad bowl.
Cut ripe tomatoes and fresh mozzarella into bite-sized slices or chunks. Arrange them on top of the spinach.
Tear or chop fresh basil leaves and scatter them over the salad. This adds a fragrant, herbal note.
In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Pour the dressing evenly over the salad. Toss gently to combine and coat the spinach, tomatoes, and mozzarella.
Optionally, add a sprinkle of sea salt or fresh ground pepper. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Relish in the combination of crisp spinach, juicy tomatoes, and creamy mozzarella. This salad is a perfect blend of flavors and textures for any meal!
