Caprese Salad Thermomix Recipe
Chicken Caprese Salad

Sharing is caring!

Caprese salad is a quintessential Italian dish, featuring the vibrant red, green and white of the Italian flag and usually served very simple. I believe I have taken the traditional Caprese salad to the next level by making it a complete meal. This will absolutely impress guests and the best part – all of the elements can be prepared ahead of time in the Thermomix. A big thank you to Cafe Delights for the beautiful photography inspiration. Love Nik xx
