Sodium-Free Caprese Salad

Caprese salad is the ultimate symbol of Italian cuisine: simple, fresh, and in the colors of its flag. The key to success lies in the quality of its ingredients. To enhance the flavor of the tomato and the creaminess of the mozzarella without adding sodium, we will use Bonsalt 0%.

Technical Sheet

• Difficulty: ⭐

• Servings: 2 people

Ingredients

• 2 large ripe tomatoes (oxheart or vine tomatoes)

• 2 balls of fresh buffalo mozzarella (or high-quality fresh mozzarella)

• A bunch of fresh basil leaves

• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)

• Bonsalt 0%

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Tomato preparation: Wash the tomatoes well and dry them. Cut them into slices about half a centimeter thick.

2. Cheese preparation: Drain the mozzarella well and cut it into slices of a similar thickness to the tomato.

3. Assembly: On a flat plate or serving dish, alternate a slice of tomato with a slice of mozzarella, overlapping them slightly to create an attractive visual effect.

4. Adding the basil: Place fresh basil leaves between the tomato and cheese slices. If the leaves are very large, you can tear them gently by hand.

5. Seasoning: Sprinkle Bonsalt 0% and black pepper over the whole salad to highlight the freshness of the ingredients.

6. Final dressing: Drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil. If desired, add a few threads of balsamic glaze for a sweet-and-sour touch.
