Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, sliced in half (or grape tomatoes)
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella pearls, drained
- 2 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed
- Small handful of fresh basil leaves
Dressing & Garnish
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 1-2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- Coarse sea salt, to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large serving bowl, add the sliced cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella pearls, blueberries, and fresh basil leaves. Gently toss the ingredients together to evenly distribute all components without bruising any.
- Add Dressing: Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the salad. This adds a rich, tangy flavor that complements the fresh ingredients.
- Season: Sprinkle the salad with coarse sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper according to your taste preferences to enhance the flavors.
- Serve: Toss the salad gently once more just before serving to blend the dressing and seasoning evenly without breaking the ingredients apart. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality mozzarella pearls for the best texture and flavor.
- Cherry tomatoes can be swapped with grape tomatoes if preferred.
- For a sweeter twist, use a fruit-infused balsamic glaze.
- This salad is best served fresh; leftovers can be kept refrigerated for up to 24 hours but may lose texture.
- Optionally, add a handful of arugula for a peppery note.
