Chef's notes
While basil is an essential element of a traditional Caprese salad, this Tomato and Mozzarella Salad recipe also tastes great with chopped parsley or chives.
To ripen avocados faster, place them in a sealed brown paper bag with a banana, apple, or kiwi.
Use a serrated knife to cut tomatoes by placing them between two container lids and sawing through.
