You can also serve it as an easy appetizer, on toast or in a sandwich. I love it in an open sandwich with hummus and prosciutto. Caprese is often paired with a drizzle of olive oil or balsamic vinegar. It really doesn't need a dressing, but if you want to use one, I suggest a plain vinaigrette.
Anything basil flavored would fit perfectly. This salad is definitely best when served immediately. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
If you want to make this salad ahead of time, I suggest slicing the tomatoes and mozzarella, and storing them separately. Then, assemble the salad and add fresh basil leaves right before serving.

This healthy salad with tomatoes, mozzarella and basil is both super quick to make, and very delicious. Created by: Tonje. This make ahead version of the classic Caprese Salad is the perfect summer salad. Instead of using whole sliced tomatoes, I used always in season, bite-sized cherry tomatoes.
Traditionally, Caprese salad is prepared just before serving so you can enjoy the ripe tomatoes paired with fresh mozzarella without the juices from the tomatoes watering down the salad. This make ahead alternative is perfect for taking to a party or snacking on throughout the weekend. Caprese is one of my very favorite summer flavors!
