Italian Mozzarella Salad

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, combine mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil.

   Tip: Make sure to handle the basil gently to avoid bruising.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, whisk together extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, black pepper, garlic, sugar, and Italian seasoning.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of garlic to your taste.

3. 3

   Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to combine.

   Tip: Make sure everything is well coated.

4. 4

   Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

   Tip: This will allow the flavors to meld together and the cheese to set.

5. 5

   Just before serving, toss the salad again and serve chilled.

   Tip: You can also garnish with additional basil leaves if desired.

6. 6

   Serve immediately and enjoy!
