As the name implies, the salad likely originated on the island of Capri. Among the many possible explanations for its creation are "in the 20th century to soothe the palates of vacationing royalty and key politicos," and "in honour of the Italian flag." It became popular in America during the 1960s when Italian restaurants began serving it as an appetizer.

The ingredients in Caprese are simple: sliced fresh mozzarella cheese, tomato Roma slices, and fresh basil leaves drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar or pesto sauce.

You can serve this dish with seasonal vegetables like green beans or asparagus—either one works well with salmon!

Today it remains one of America's favourite comfort foods—and for a good reason!
