 Ingredients:

Insalata Caprese is an absolutely delicious and completely Italian salad that has only three ingredients when it is in it's purest form. Unfortunately, I didn't have my nice olive oil, so I decided to spice it up a bit and add a few new ingredients, bringing my own twist to the table in the form of balsamic.

Olive Oil
Balsamic Vinegar, the older, the more expensive, the better, just like wine. Mine was a cheapy like $13 bottle, not at all ideal.
fresh, handpicked, still warm from the sun cherry tomatoes
fresh italian basil (which is in an oregeno box)
and a smidge of parsley, which was a mistake, so act like I didn't put it in there
mozzarella - the ratio of little mozzarella balls to tomatoes should be 1:1.75 very precise. not at all. 
  
 
 Step 1:

Make sure you get the GOOD STUFF SOAKED IN VINEGAR AND WATER, NOT THE KIND FROM A BAG - stuff like this:

Very easy to find at Trader Joe's, very cheap, like $5 for the entire container and well worth it.
