Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 2 pints cherry tomatoes cut in half
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella pearls
- ¼ cup red onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- 8 fresh basil leaves torn or sliced
Instructions
- Cut the cherry or grape tomatoes in half or quarters depending on the size.
- Tear or slice the fresh basil leaves.
- In a large bowl, combine the cut tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, chopped onion, and basil.
- Toss to combine.
- Drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss and place in serving bowl.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Stack and roll the basil leaves, then slice thin into ribbons to make them bite-size. You can also tear them.
- Cut the mozzarella to match the size of your tomatoes so every bite has a little bit of everything.
- Leave off the oil and salt until serving to keep the tomatoes from getting watery.
- Skip dried basil. Fresh parsley or oregano are better substitutions.
- Try pickled red onions if raw onion is too sharp for you.
