FOOD NOTE: Caprese Salad is a traditional Italian summer salad, meant to show off the season’s bounty of tomatoes and fresh basil. Honoring the red, white and green of Italy’s flag, the salad gets its name from Capri, an island off the eastern coast of Italy, famed for its sprawling beaches and sophisticated urbanite crowds.
