Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze

Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze is an easy elegant salad. Ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil drizzled with a sweet balsamic glaze and olive oil. I have pretty much killed every plant I have ever bought but the one thing I can grow is fresh hearty herbs. There are two things I love in the summer ..#1 fresh mint in my Iced Tea and #2 Fresh Basil for a caprese salad. That is my idea of living!

This salad can be assembled ahead of time and then drizzled with olive oil and balsamic glaze right before serving.
