- 3 tablespoons marinated oil from mozzarella balls
- 3 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup chopped fresh basil
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt, (use more according to your liking)
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add chopped cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, marinated oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with fresh basil and mix well until combined.
- Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Season to taste with more salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
Notes
Marinated Mozzarella Balls:
I purchased the Galbani brand at Costco.
If you want to use regular Mozzarella balls, you have to add about 4 tablespoons of olive oil into this recipe.
