When it comes to making a Caprese salad, cherry tomatoes are a classic choice. But I've found that other types of tomatoes like heirloom, Roma, or beefsteak tomatoes can also make a great addition to the mix. Personally, I love experimenting with different tomato varieties because they bring their unique flavor, texture, and color to the salad. Whether it's the sweetness of an heirloom tomato or the juiciness of a beefsteak tomato, choosing the right tomato can really elevate the dish and make it your own. So don't be afraid to try something new and see what works best for your taste buds!
