Follow The Directions

In a large bowl, gently combine the mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and basil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Drizzle with olive oil and season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)

03

For an enhanced flavor, consider using marinated mozzarella balls. The marinade will add a touch of tanginess and depth.
A balsamic glaze can also be drizzled over the salad for an extra layer of sweetness and acidity.
Feel free to experiment with different types of basil, such as Thai basil or lemon basil, to add a unique twist.
Best served within a few hours of preparation to maintain optimal freshness.
