Personal Notes:
This salad is great in the summer when tomatoes are really good.

Traditionally, Caprese Salad is dressed with only olive oil & salt. The Italians do not add the balsamic glaze. I have done this as I find the balsamic gives the dish a nice flavour "pop". Feel free to leave it out if you wish.
