Easy Tomato Mozzarella Salad

Print Recipe

A vibrant summer salad featuring cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil, perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by washing the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves under cold running water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. Halve the tomatoes and place them in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the mozzarella balls and toss them in with the tomatoes.
  4. Add the chopped basil leaves over the tomatoes and mozzarella.
  5. Dress the salad by whisking together the olive oil and balsamic vinegar in a small bowl, then pour over the salad.
  6. Season generously with salt and pepper and toss again to combine.
  7. Plate the salad onto a serving platter, optionally drizzled with extra olive oil or balsamic vinegar before serving.

Notes

Best served fresh but can be prepared a few hours in advance. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, keeping the dressing separate to avoid sogginess.
