Marinated Mozzarella, Cherry Tomato, and Basil Salad

  

 

Ingredients

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

 

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

 

1 pound ciliegine mozzarella (cherry-size mozzarella balls)

 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

 

1 pint/ 12 ounces/ 340 gm cherry or grape tomatoes

 

3 tbsp balsamic vinegar (regular, white, or golden)

 

 

Directions

Combine oil and basil in a bowl. Add the mozzarella and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes. 

Add tomatoes and vinegar to the mozzarella and toss to combine. Season to taste with more salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately. 

Notes

We recommend marinating this salad at room temperature as storing it in the fridge will cause the mozzarella to firm up.
