Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Cherry tomatoes
- 200 g Vegan mozzarella cheese
- 30 g Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Balsamic vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly and slice each one in half. If the tomatoes are particularly large, you may want to quarter them.
Drain the vegan mozzarella and cut it into small bite-sized cubes that match the size of your tomato pieces.
Wash the fresh basil leaves and pat them dry with a paper towel. Tear or slice them into small strips, leaving a few leaves whole for garnish.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, cubed vegan mozzarella, and sliced basil leaves.
Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad mixture.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the top to season the salad.
Toss the salad gently to ensure all the ingredients are well combined and coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and garnish with a few whole basil leaves before serving.
