Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Marinate the Mozzarella

    In a bowl, combine the fresh mozzarella balls with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat the mozzarella evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tomatoes

    While the mozzarella is marinating, rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Place them in a serving bowl.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    Once the mozzarella is marinated, add it along with the marinade to the bowl with cherry tomatoes. Gently toss to combine.

  4. 4

    Add Fresh Basil

    Tear the fresh basil leaves into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the salad. Give it a final gentle toss.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the Caprese Salad immediately as a fresh appetizer or side dish.
