Insalata Caprese is my favorite salad, and it's so pretty, too. It's a composed salad like Salade Nicoise, which means it's assembled on a platter, not tossed in a bowl. Many assume that because of its name the salad originated on the Isle of Capri, but some say it originated in Switzerland! It was possibly named because a Capri native, who worked as a maitre d' at a hotel in Switzerland, had it so often that hotel patrons asked for the salad that the man from Capri made.
