Ingredients

  • 2 cups Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup Mini Mozzarella Balls halved
  • 3 tablespoons Red Onion chopped
  • 10-12 leaves Fresh Basil plus few for garnish thinly sliced
  • ½ tablespoon Parsley chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Freshly Ground Pepper
  • tablespoons Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Instructions

  • Place all the ingredients (tomatoes, mozzarella balls, onion, herbs, salt, pepper, vinegar, and olive oil) in a large bowl.
  • Gently toss to combine well and allow the salad to sit for 10 minutes.
  • Give 1-2 gentle toss again, garnish with some fresh basil and serve.

Notes

  • Salad should hold at room temperature for 4-6 hours, making it a lovely dish for bringing to a pot luck.
  • If you still want to get ahead, feel free to prep the ingredients and refrigerate separately for up to 24 hours in advance. Toss just before serving.
  • Any leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 1 day in airtight container.
