Ingredients

• 250 grams cherry tomatoes
• 200 grams fresh mozzarella (bocconcini or mozzarella balls)
• 10 grams fresh basil leaves
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional for very low-carb diets)
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Slice each tomato into halves and place them in a large salad bowl.

Step 2

Drain the fresh mozzarella and pat it dry with a paper towel. If using large mozzarella balls, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add the mozzarella to the salad bowl with the tomatoes.

Step 3

Wash and pat dry the fresh basil leaves. Tear them into smaller pieces by hand and scatter them over the salad for added freshness and aroma.

Step 4

Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad, and if using, drizzle the balsamic vinegar for a tangy touch.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the salad for seasoning.

Step 6

Gently toss the ingredients together until they are well combined and the flavors are evenly distributed.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a light meal or a side dish. For best results, pair with a low-carb main dish or enjoy on its own.
