It is based on the Caprese Salad recipe. If you gather all the ingredients together and have them ready for assembly, it can even be a company dish. It is worth paying more for the Italian buffala milk Mozzarella – rich and lusciously soft. A recent recipe recommended chilling the supermarket kind of Mozzarella before using it in this dish.
