Juicy, vibrant tomato and melt-in-your-mouth mozzarella, arranged with fragrant, herbaceous basil, would already be a triple in baseball terms (see what we did there?). But then the extra-tangy dressing makes all those exciting flavors electric! Your taste buds will be running the bases in celebration for this Home Run Caprese Salad!
