Ingredients

2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese diced or torn into small pieces
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves thinly sliced
2 tbsp balsamic glaze
1 clove garlic finely minced

Equipment

mixing bowl
cutting board
chef's knife
serving dish
measuring spoons

Method

In a medium bowl, combine the halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and minced garlic. Stir gently to coat.
Let the tomato mixture sit for 5 to 10 minutes so the flavors blend and the tomatoes release a little juice.
Add the mozzarella and basil to the bowl, then toss gently to combine without breaking up the cheese too much.
Transfer the mixture to a serving dish and drizzle the balsamic glaze over the top.
Serve immediately with toasted bread, crackers, or crostini.

Notes

For the best flavor, use ripe cherry tomatoes and fresh basil. If you prefer a sweeter finish, add a little extra balsamic glaze just before serving.
