Note - Insalata Caprese originates with a "capri" style from the region "Campania" in Italy. It's usually served as a first course. A true Caprese from this region is made of buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, salt, pepper and olive oil. "Dani's Caprese" is a play on the overall appearance of an Italian caprese and shares its freshness to the palette. Both are fantastic!
