About Cherry tomato and mozzarella salad

Cherry tomato and mozzarella salad is a vibrant and refreshing dish rooted in Italian cuisine, often inspired by the classic Caprese salad. This simple yet flavorful salad features juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella balls, fresh basil leaves, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Some variations may include balsamic vinegar for added tanginess. Packed with antioxidants, cherry tomatoes support heart health and skin vitality, while mozzarella provides protein and calcium essential for bone health. Olive oil contributes heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. The salad is naturally low in carbs, making it suitable for various dietary preferences. However, its fat content can be higher depending on the amount of cheese and oil used, so portion control is key for those monitoring calorie intake. Quick to prepare and visually appealing, this salad is a nutritious choice for a light starter or side dish.
