Caprese salad (Italian: Insalata Caprese [insa'la:ta ka'pre:ze], meaning "Salad of Capri") is a simple Italian salad, made of sliced fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and sweet basil, seasoned with salt and olive oil. Like pizza Margherita, it features the colors of the Italian flag: green, white, and red. In Italy, it is usually served as an antipasto (starter), not a contorno (side dish).
