    the history of the michael scott caprese salad caper

    Anyone an Office fan out there? Everytime I see a caprese salad recipe now, I always think of The Office!

    But actually, the history of caprese salad is much less complicated. It's an Italian dish that was meant to resemble the Italian flag with:

    • Tomatoes (red)
    • Basil (green)
    • Mozzarella cheese (white)

    On top of the salad you drizzle balsamic vinegar. The recipe can be served cold or grilled like I am serving it today.

    ingredients

    Our ingredient list is super simple today. All you will need is:

    • Vegetables or fruit to grill
