- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 cup fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and pat them dry using a clean kitchen towel. Halve each cherry tomato and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3
Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes and mozzarella. Toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Wash the fresh basil leaves, pat them dry, and then stack them on top of each other. Roll the basil leaves into a tight cylinder and slice them carefully into thin strips. Add the basil to the salad.
Step 5
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the salad. Toss the salad gently to combine all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.
Step 6
Transfer the salad to a serving dish or individual bowls and enjoy immediately as a fresh and healthy side dish or light meal.
