Berry Caprese Salad
Description
This Berry Caprese Salad mixes several types of fresh berries with soft fresh mozzarella balls and aromatic chopped basil. The strawberries are halved to match the berries' size, ensuring balance in each bite. A light drizzle of olive oil enhances the ingredients’ natural flavors, while balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy finish.
The berries provide juicy, bright fruitiness contrasted by the creamy mozzarella, and the basil contributes an herbaceous note. This combination delivers a refreshing salad suitable as a light appetizer or side dish during warmer meals.
The salad is meant to be served immediately after preparation to maintain the fresh texture of the berries and cheese. It is best not held for extended periods once dressed.

Instructions
