Insalata di mozzarella con pomodori al balsamico

Ingredienti

• 2 balls buffalo mozzarella
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 1/4 small onion (white or red, finely diced)
• 1 clove garlic (finely diced)
• 10-12 basil leaves (chopped)
• 3 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Preparazione

1. 1

   If using whole large mozzarella balls, slice into 3-4 pieces. If using balls, you can halve them or leave them whole.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, combine tomatoes with the remaining salad ingredients. Top mozzarella with the tomatoes and the dressing and sprinkle with a few extra basil leaves. Drizzle of olive oil will give it a nice glossy touch.

3. 3

   You can make the salad bit ahead of time but I prefer to add the balsamic and olive oil just before serving so the tomatoes aren't too soggy.
