Our Disclaimer (The serious stuff)

By using our free meal planner (and the rest of spoonacular.com) you have to agree that you and only you are responsible for anything that happens to you because of something you have read on this site or have bought/cooked/eaten because of this site. After all, the only person who controls what you put in your mouth is you, right?

Spoonacular is a recipe search engine that sources recipes from across the web. We do our best to find recipes suitable for many diets — whether vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free, etc. — but we cannot guarantee that a recipe's ingredients are safe for your diet. Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

We also attempt to estimate the cost and calculate the nutritional information for the recipes found on our site. Again, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this information. Additionally, our nutrition visualizer that suggests that you limit sodium, sugar, etc., and get enough protein, vitamins, and minerals is not intended as medical advice. Similarly, our health tips are based on articles we have read from various sources across the web, and are not based on any medical training. The team behind spoonacular does not possess any medical qualifications and the information may be found to be incorrect or out of date based on future research. If you need help planning your diet or determining which foods (and recipes) are safe for you, contact a registered dietitian, allergist, or another medical professional.

Spoonacular is not responsible for any adverse effects or damages that occur because of your use of the website or any information it provides (e.g. after cooking/consuming a recipe on spoonacular.com or on any of the sites we link to, after reading information from articles or shared via social media, etc.)

Forget going out to eat or ordering takeout every time you crave Mediterranean food. Try making Italian Tomato and Mozzarella Caprese at home. For $1.7 per serving, you get a main course that serves 4. One portion of this dish contains around 28g of protein, 14g of fat, and a total of 269 calories. 2 people were impressed by this recipe. A mixture of fluid balsamic vinegar, kosher salt, olive oil, and a handful of other ingredients are all it takes to make this recipe so yummy. From preparation to the plate, this recipe takes around 45 minutes. It is brought to you by Foodista. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free, lacto ovo vegetarian, and primal diet. All things considered, we decided this recipe deserves a spoonacular score of 90%. This score is great. Italian Tomato and Mozzarella Caprese, Tomato Mozzarella Caprese Salad, and Caprese Quesadilla with Tomato, Mozzarella & Basil Mayonnaise are very similar to this recipe.

Caprese Salad works really well with Chardonnay, Alcoholic Drink, and White Wine. Sauvignon Blanc and Gruner Veltliner both have herby notes that complement salads with enough acid to match tart vinaigrettes, while a Chardonnay can be a good pick for creamy salad dressings. The Nickel & Nickel Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay with a 4.7 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 36 dollars per bottle.

Nickel & Nickel Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay

Nickel & Nickel's 2000 Truchard Vineyard Chardonnay is the second wine of this varietal to be introduced in the Nickel and Nickel portfolio. Produced in Carneros, a cool and breezy appellation renowned for producing noteworthy Chardonnay, the wine offers aromas of tropical fruit and sweet oak. A touch of malolactic fermentation brings forth ripe pineapple, pear, apple, citrus notes on the palate, which are accented by hints of vanilla and spice from the oak. The wine's lovely texture and bright acidity meld into a lengthy and flavorful finish.
