Caprese Appetizer Salad

by Editorial Staff

Loved by many, the famous Italian Caprese salad. Of course, in our understanding, it is difficult to call it a salad, rather it is a cold antipasto appetizer, but this makes it no less beloved in Russia. Preparing Caprese is very simple, and the taste of the salad is simply amazing. As they say, all ingenious is simple!
