Caprese Egg Salad Ingredients

Salad
  • 5 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 20 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 3oz mozzarella pearls
    • or use shredded or chopped
  • 3oz fresh basil, finely chopped
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • sea salt & pepper to taste

  • 3 tablespoons balsamic glaze

How to Prepare Caprese Salad Eggs

Step 1

Chop the Ingredients
Begin by chopping the hard-boiled eggs into bite-sized pieces. Quarter the cherry tomatoes, finely chop the basil, and ensure your mozzarella pearls (or shredded mozzarella) are ready to go.

 

Step 2

Mix the Salad
In a large mixing bowl, gently fold together the chopped eggs, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Pour in the olive oil and mix thoroughly. As you stir, the egg yolks will naturally create a creamy sauce that ties the ingredients together.

Step 3

Season the Salad
Add sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Stir again to evenly distribute the seasoning.

Step 4

Garnish with Balsamic Glaze
Drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of the salad for an extra layer of flavor. If you’re serving a crowd, consider keeping the balsamic glaze on the side so guests can add it as desired.

Step 5

Serve or Store
Serve your Caprese salad eggs immediately, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for 3–5 days.
