I’ve always heard vinegar was a no-no with caprese, but I never heard why, it was just common knowledge. I myself always include it, as I just love the additional flavor it adds. That said, the next time I have access to some unripe tomatoes I will try a taste test and see how I feel.

Very well-written and informative! The reason your backyard basil is so much more flavorful than the stuff you find in the supermarket is likely because the latter is grown hydroponically.

Shocked to learn balsamic is a no-no.
Personally, I think it makes it better.
Furthermore, I disdain salt and sprinkle “Italian Seasoning”…… also known as Dried Oregano, Dried Basil, and Dried Parsley.
It adds to the appearance more than the flavor.
Give it a try.

Some cartoon caption ideas:

” I guess the lean burgers would have been a safer bet.”

“Who put the olive oil in the water spray bottle?”

“You mean, you don’t use lighter fluid on a gas grill?”
