Caprese Salad
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
- 1 lb ciliegine mozzarella
- 1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
- 3 tbsp ["Balsamic vinegar"](/recipes/balsamic-vinegar)
- kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
- Balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Combine oil and basil in a bowl. Add the mozzarella and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and let marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (see note).
- Add tomatoes and vinegar to the mozzarella and toss to combine. Season to taste with more salt and pepper if desired, and serve immediately.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Notes
- We recommend marinating this salad at room temperature as storing it in the fridge will cause the mozzarella to firm up.
