Of all the places to have the best Caprese salad I've ever had, how about on a small island in the Pacific belonging to Panama! I stayed at the Vereda Tropical on Isla Taboga, and for my dinner on the terrace my first night I chose the Caprese salad and was wowed by the tower of perfection I got. Six slices of buffalo mozzarella were sandwiched between seven slices of beefsteak tomato, each layer on top of the other, and drizzled with pesto and garnished with reduced balsamic vinegar and julienne of fresh basil. This salad was a bargain and a half, especially considering that I was in the tropics. How on earth did they procure those great ingredients? And for that price? And as I ate, school kids singing Christmas carols passed by on the path below. Location: Vereda Tropical Hotel, Isla Taboga, Panama. Date: December 10, 2013.
