To make the Classic Italian Caprese Salad, you will need the following ingredients:
Slice 2 mozzarella balls and drain in a sieve.
Slice the tomatoes in half. If using large tomatoes, slice them into ⅓-inch-thick slices. Transfer the tomatoes to a bowl and toss with 2-3 pinches of salt, ¼ -½ a teaspoon dried oregano, and 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil.
Arrange the mozzarella slices on a platter and spoon the tomato mixture over. Top with fresh basil leaves.
Serve the salad immediately with a good drizzle of olive oil and enjoy!
