I like adding very thin slices of red onion also. If you want to add balsamic vinegar use the white (clear variety so the mozzarella does not turn brown.
Delicious!

Classic and I agree - the better the ingredients are mandatory! Use fresh cheese for this - not the rubbery (pizza kind. Serve with a crusty artisan bread or grilled garlic toast. You don't need much else.

Although I love balsamic vinaigrette as a salad dressing, I don't think you need it for this perfectly balanced salad. A good olive oil will be all the added flavor you need.

I suggest a little balsamic as well.
I sometimes go a step further and add ultra-thin slices of red onion.
Another alternative is to reduce the balsamic, cool and pour in thin streams onto the salad and then some EVOO. Do not overdress this classic.
Fresh mozzarella and fresh basil, of course, is mandatory.

I had caprese salad in Florence Italy and it was so good. This recipe is really good and I was able to find really good fresh mozerella from a local cheese maker. It's almost like being back in Italy.

I used to eat this at my favorite Italian restaurant and I always wondered how it was made. I tried to make it myself once and I bought jack cheese by mistake and canned tomatoes instead of fresh. I just ended up making chicken parmigiana with a marinara sauce instead with a chocolate souffle for desert. Yumo!

I am so glad this was shared so I could finally figure it out. that the tomatoes need to be fresh and they use mozzarella and not jack. Silly me.

I make this with balsamic vinegar like other reviewers, and the whole family loves it! Our Italian foreign exchange student said it's not usually served there with basil or vinegar, but with oregano (at least in Verona. Absolutely wonderful dish!

love this. It's so easy to make! I only had some pasta, butter and frozen veggies mixed up as a main meal, so I just got some garlic bread and made this. Easy, fast dinner

Try it with buffalo mozzarella for a true Italian addition
