Notes
- Pre Ahead and Storing Instructions
- Caprese salad is best when it's made just before serving. You can store leftovers in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 2-3 days, but the cheese and basil will begin to take on the juices of the tomato, changing in texture.
- To save time, you can pre-slice the tomatoes and the cheese but store them separately until read to serve.
