Ingredients
- 250 g Cherry tomatoes
- 150 g Mozzarella cheese
- 10 g Fresh basil leaves
- 60 ml Extra virgin olive oil
- 15 ml Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp Sea salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and pat dry the cherry tomatoes. Cut them each in half and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Drain the mozzarella cheese. If using mozzarella balls, chop them into halves or quarters depending on their size. Add them to the bowl with tomatoes.
Step 3
Wash the fresh basil leaves, pat them dry, and then stack and roll them into a cigar shape. Slice into thin strips (chiffonade) and add to the bowl.
Step 4
In a small bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the tomato and cheese mixture. Gently toss the salad to ensure even coating of the dressing without breaking up the cheese.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
Step 7
Transfer the salad to a serving platter or individual plates and garnish with additional basil leaves if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately or allow it to sit for 10 minutes to let flavors meld before serving.
