Marinated Mozzarella

Salad Assembly

Method

Preparation of Heirloom Tomatoes

  1. 1

    Slice the Tomatoes

    Wash the heirloom tomatoes thoroughly. Slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices on a serving platter.

Marinated Mozzarella

  1. 2

    Marinate the Mozzarella

    In a bowl, combine the mozzarella balls, olive oil, fresh basil leaves, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper. Toss gently to ensure the mozzarella is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

Salad Assembly

  1. 3

    Assemble the Salad

    On top of the sliced heirloom tomatoes, layer the marinated mozzarella balls and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top. Finally, add the fresh arugula around the tomatoes and mozzarella for a fresh, vibrant look.
