Delicious Caprese Salad with Balsamic Dots

In summary, to make a Delicious Caprese Salad with Balsamic Dots, you will need fresh mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. To make the balsamic dots, mix balsamic vinegar and olive oil and carefully drop small dots onto the salad. Other types of cheese such as feta or goat cheese can be used instead of mozzarella. The salad can be prepared ahead of time and assembled right before serving for best results. While fresh basil is recommended, dried basil can be used as a substitute.
