Caprese with strawberries is an easy-to-prepare, impressive and tasty appetizer made from a minimum number of ingredients.
Caprese with strawberries is a quick and easy to prepare, spectacular and tasty appetizer that will decorate any feast. The dish is based on the traditional combination of delicate, creamy mozzarella and spicy basil leaves, inherent in any version of caprese, but instead of ripe tomatoes, strawberries add bright colors, juiciness and an appetizing taste to the dish. The “dressing” for this unusual version of caprese is a light marinade sauce based on lemon juice and olive oil. This addition will make the mozzarella balls more spicy in taste, highlight the sweetness of the strawberries and give the salad a multifaceted and very appetizing salty-sweet taste, with light citrus notes.
