SALT you fucking idiots! it's so crazy that everybody is mad about the suggestion that it needs spices when they left out fucking SALT. have you had slices of grocery store tomato without salt??? have you had bocconcini or fresh mozzarella or similar kind of cheese without salt??? like i PUT pepper and i PUT olive oil on it, what more do these people want?
maybe dont completely fuck up the dish by leaving out SALT and you won't have people being like "this sucks, why doesn't it taste like anything" like sure adding cumin isn't a good solution but at least they recognize that there's no flavour.
instead its used as an opportunity to be defensive about being white on reddit
FUCK you
FUCK these people
by the way, a "traditional" caprese salad is tomato, basil, bocconcini, olive oil, and SALT. sure balsalmic vinegar tastes good with that stuff, it's common to add it, but it's like adding ketchup to unsalted french fries except worse. everyone like "UH IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE "SIMPLE" AND "DELICATE"" when they left out one of the five ingredients. AAAAA
