Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cherry tomatoes
- 200 grams fresh mozzarella (bocconcini or mozzarella balls)
- 10 grams fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar (optional for very low-carb diets)
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry. Slice each tomato into halves and place them in a large salad bowl.
Drain the fresh mozzarella and pat it dry with a paper towel. If using large mozzarella balls, cut them into bite-sized pieces. Add the mozzarella to the salad bowl with the tomatoes.
Wash and pat dry the fresh basil leaves. Tear them into smaller pieces by hand and scatter them over the salad for added freshness and aroma.
Drizzle the extra-virgin olive oil over the salad, and if using, drizzle the balsamic vinegar for a tangy touch.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the salad for seasoning.
Gently toss the ingredients together until they are well combined and the flavors are evenly distributed.
Serve immediately as a light meal or a side dish. For best results, pair with a low-carb main dish or enjoy on its own.
