White Bean Caprese Salad

1. Combine Ingredients

Start by combining the white beans, halved tomatoes, mozzarella, and half of the basil in a medium bowl. This mixture should appear colorful and evenly distributed, reflecting the freshness of the ingredients.

2. Drizzle Olive Oil and Season

Next, drizzle the olive oil over the combined ingredients. Season generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Stir the mixture with a spoon or spatula until everything is well coated with the oil and seasoning. The olive oil not only enhances the flavors but also adds a rich, smooth texture to the salad.

3. Add Balsamic Vinegar and Remaining Basil

After mixing, drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the salad and sprinkle the remaining basil on top. The balsamic vinegar provides a delightful acidity and sweetness, balancing the richness of the olive oil and cheese perfectly.

4. Adjust Seasoning and Serve

Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or salt as needed to achieve a balanced flavor. Finally, finish the salad with a light sprinkling of flaky salt for added texture and visual appeal. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh, vibrant flavors of this White Bean Caprese Salad.
