  • With a serrated knife, cut the tomatoes into 1/4″ thick slices. Arrange them on a large serving platter, overlapping their edges and varying the shapes as best you can.
  • Cut the burrata or mozzarella into 1/4″ to 1/2″ slices (burrata is tricky since the inside is so creamy; I cut it into 1/2″ slices and gently tugged the slices into smaller sections, see photos). Tuck the cheese around and underneath the tomatoes, dispersing it relatively evenly across the platter.
  • Sprinkle basil leaves all over, and tuck a few more into the crevices. Drizzle the olive oil over the salad. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.
  • For the best flavor (if you have the time), let the salad rest for 30 minutes so the tomatoes release some juices and the flavors have time to mingle. This salad is best served within a few hours. Leftovers will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to 3 days.

  • Toss all ingredients except for the reduction in a bowl. Drizzle with the reduction, adding a little at a time, tossing, tasting, and then adding more to your liking.

  • Use only fresh mozzarella or burrata. The key to the best caprese is the freshest ingredients. And that starts with the cheese you’re using. Get the absolute best, fresh mozzarella you can find.
  • Find the best tomatoes. I’m not going to lie, sometimes the tomatoes you can find at the supermarket aren’t the best. They can be watery, and not flavorful.
  • Don’t skip the basil. Confession: I tried to make a caprese once and didn’t have fresh basil on hand, so used dried oregano instead. It was a bad idea. A caprese needs fresh basil, and it should be Italian basil (not thai, or another variety).

HOW TO MAKE THE BEST CAPRESE SALAD - SERIOUS EATS

From seriouseats.com
  • Get Excellent Tomatoes. This is the hardest step, but not that hard if it's the height of tomato season, toward the end of summer. If you've got a farmers market nearby (or, even better, a neighbor or backyard with tomato vines), hit it up.
  • Get Excellent Fresh Mozzarella. Fresh mozzarella comes in a few forms, in decreasing order of goodness. And, to be clear, we're talking fresh, as in the pale white stuff that comes in balls, either in brine or in vacuum-sealed bags.
  • Get Excellent Basil. This is your easiest task. Look for bright green, non-limp, sweet Italian basil. I prefer the smaller leaves, but that's almost purely for aesthetic reasons.
  • Get Excellent Olive Oil. In this day and age, there's no excuse for using terrible, flavorless olive oil anymore. There's good stuff widely available in pretty much every supermarket in the country.
  • Crunchy Salt and Coarsely Ground Pepper. Last ingredients here. So far our salad is soft on soft on soft, drizzled with liquid. But we want a little bit of texture here, right?
  • Don't F#&k With It. This is by far the most important rule. With most recipes, once you've gathered the ingredients, you're ready to begin cooking.
