How to Make Caprese Salad With Caper Vinaigrette
- Slice 8 ounces of fresh mozzarella into 8 slices (approximately 4 slices per ball).
- Slice 2 medium heirloom tomatoes into 8 slices (about 4 slices per tomato).
- On each of 4 serving plates, create stacks of alternating tomato and mozzarella slices (2 tomato, 2 mozzarella per stack).
- Season each tomato slice lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Set aside the assembled stacks.
- In a blender, combine 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon capers (reserve about 1/2 teaspoon for garnish).
- Blend until completely smooth.
- Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste.
- Drizzle a generous amount of the caper vinaigrette over each mozzarella-tomato stack.
- Garnish each stack with fresh basil ribbons (about 1 tablespoon), a few reserved capers, and a pinch of lemon zest.
