Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup small tomatoes, we used grape tomatoes
  • 3 ounces fresh mozzarella balls
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon cracked pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 clove garlic, about 1 teaspoon crushed
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon aged balsamic vinegar

Instructions

  • Slice the grape tomatoes in half lengthwise. Then, chop each ball of fresh mozzarella into quarters.
  • Add the olive oil, pepper, salt, crushed garlic, and basil to a large bowl. Combine these ingredients.
  • Add the tomatoes to the bowl and mix them with the seasoning.
  • Spread the tomatoes out on a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roast them in the oven at 400℉ for 10 minutes.
  • Add the chopped mozzarella to the bowl with the remaining seasoning and mix. Let it sit in the bowl as you want to serve this salad at room temperature.
  • Once the tomatoes are roasted let them cool for 5 minutes. Then, add them to the bowl with the mozzarella. Gently mix the tomatoes and mozzarella. Also, drizzle some balsamic vinegar on top and enjoy!
  • Optional: Toast some bread in the oven, slice it, and enjoy it with the Caprese salad.
