Marinated Mozzarella, Cherry Tomato, & Basil Salad Recipe - 华体会体育推荐

Why This Recipe Works

Using golden balsamic vinegar adds the flavor you want without staining the mozzarella balls.

Fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil are a classic combination, but sometimes the dish can be very bland. Here, cherry-sized mozzarella balls (ciliegine) are marinated in extra virgin olive oil, fresh basil, salt and pepper, and then tossed with sweet cherry tomatoes and golden balsamic vinegar. Nothing bland about that.

Regular balsamic vinegar will work but will darken the milky white color of the mozzarella. Use golden if you can.

Notes

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