No, Caprese should be served at room temperature. Chilling Caprese Salad can dull the flavors and textures of its components. Tomatoes lose sweetness and juiciness, mozzarella can become mushy and/or lose creaminess, and basil leaves wilt, darken and loose flavor. To savor the salad's vibrant colors, fresh textures, and rich tastes, it's best enjoyed at room temperature shortly after preparation.
