Spinach Caprese Salad is easy to make, light, refreshing, and has that perfect amount of tang! Soft mozzarella, juicy sweet tomatoes, and chiffonade-cut spinach tossed in a bright dressing can be enjoyed immediately or meal-prepped a day in advance.

Instructions
PREP VEGETABLES:
- Slice each tomato in half.
- Grab the spinach, stack each leaf on top of one another, roll the stack, and cut thin strips, creating chiffonade spinach cuts.
- Add the mozzarella pearls, tomatoes, and spinach in a large bowl, and set aside.
MAKE DRESSING:
- Add all the dressing ingredients in a mixing bowl—lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pomegranate molasses, and basil, and mix until an emulsified dressing forms. I like to mix for about a solid minute. This helps puncture the basil and ensures the salt is evenly distributed throughout the dressing.
TO FINISH:
- Drizzle about ¼ cup of the dressing over the salad and gently toss until each ingredient is generously coated well.
- Serve and enjoy right away.
