This recipe is so darn simple. It literally only requires a few simple ingredients. As I mentioned in my Melon Caprese Salad recipe, my Dad has a garden in Los Banos so we get to enjoy fresh produce seasonally. These heirloom tomatoes are perfect for this salad because they are so juicy and filled with so much flavor! This Tomato Prosciutto Caprese is also a feast for your eyes because it almost is too pretty to eat.
You can enjoy this tomato prosciutto caprese as a light dinner, snack, and even appetizer depending on what you’re in the mood for. You just can never go wrong with a refreshing tomato caprese salad and topping it off with light and slightly salty prosciutto..perfection.
If you are a vegetarian, this recipe is still delicious, just leave out the prosciutto!
Ways to serve Tomato Caprese:
- Just the way it is or for a party- everyone will love this app!

If you have been looking for a quick (like less than 10 minutes to put together quick) you found the right recipe. This is also low carb and has plenty of health benefits. This vibrant and gorgeous salad is truly acceptable any time of the year. Although these heirloom tomatoes are seasonal, you can certainly use regular tomatoes as well.

Easy, delicious, and always a winner! This is a true classic and I love the balsamic vinegar touch. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Sp gorgeous – you’re right that it’s almost too pretty to eat. ALMOST! I love the addition of salty prosciutto to the classic summer-fresh flavors of caprese salad! So perfect with farm market heirloom tomatoes, but I agree that it’ll be lovely all year long, too. A little bit of summer, any time!
My tomatoes are going crazy in my garden – this was a delicious way to put them to use!
The touch of prosciutto puts this over the top for me! A great light dish for the summer heat (or a great appetizer)!
Now this is the combination of ingredients that never fails! So much contrast, so much flavor. Amazing salad to make any time of the day!
