This Caprese salad is for the cheese lovers. To be precise mozzarella cheese lovers. Which we are at my place. First time when I had this salad at a American party I was just wowed. Then I realized it's very simple salad and can be prepared in jiffy. Make sure you get good quality mozzarella cheese for this. Also I personally like grape tomatoes, since they are sweeter than cherry tomatoes, but you can always use other types of tomatoes for this. They just have to firm variety and cut them to cube size.
