This is my favorite salad - year round. But there is fat in the mozzarella cheese. Fresh Mozzarella has 87 calories per ounce, and is 24% fat (as well as 51% water, 20% protein, 4% carbohydrate). The recipe would need to be revised because it is showing 0% calories from fat.

I'm from Texas. I added thinly cut Jalapeno slices for a hint of spice. Add the 2Tbsp. of olive oil. Wonderful!!

I also make a caprese salad substituting the cheese with light or regular extra firm tofu.
