Best Tomatoes for Caprese Salad

I use campari toms, when they are very ripe. They have a rich flavor that melds with the olive oil and other ingredients.

I find grape tomatoes the most flavorful, and they work well visually with mozzarella balls.

A bull’s heart is the best for a Caprese salad.

I love all the different recipes on here. The variety is huge. Just started eating on a diet that seems to be working for the first time in my 70 years. bit.ly/3frP8py Your site has given me even more ideas.

I love Kumato tomatoes. They are always good, no matter what time of year, but in the summer when tomatoes are fresh off the vine, that is what I would choose.

Many tomatoes are out there people are using for a Caprese Salad such as Roma Tomatoes, Cherry Tomatoes, San Marzano Tomatoes, Campari Tomatoes, Heirloom Tomatoes, etc.

It complete depends on the availability of the tomato type and the taste you prefer. So my best suggestion is that look for a type of tomato available and go with it.

I'm sharing my experiences being a cook for last a few years as I'm working as a nanny cum housemaid in a family here in Dubai.

Very ripe heirloom varieties are the best and if you grow them at home or buy them from a farmer’s market that will make a huge difference in flavour because once tomatoes are refrigerated they never have that fresh off the vine flavour that will make your salad spectacular!
Don’t forget to serve some crusty Italian bread with your caprese to soak up those juices!
