This salad is a classic and very simple to make. Whenever I make this for people I always add a couple more ingredients and I have had many people tell me this is the best Caprese salad that they have ever had. Personally, the best one I've had was at an authentic Italian restaurant and I am definitely not an authentic Italian restaurant.


I usually make my salad with basil in between each layer but this one time I decided to chop it up and layer on top.
