Caprese salad can be found in any Italian home or restaurant. This dish is loved by many, as it resembles and features the colors of the Italian flag. Caprese salad can also come in all shapes and forms, and is enjoyed at our family table on a weekly basis. We recommend enjoying this salad during the summer season when tomatoes are fresh and at their most flavorful time. Don’t forget to pair it with our Limoncello Margarita!
