Directions
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, balsamic reduction, garlic, and spices.
-
Next, stack the basil leaves on top of each other, and chiffonade them into thin ribbons. *Stack the leaves largest on the bottom and smallest on the top, roll them up like a blanket, and slice them perpendicular to the roll*
-
Add the basil to the oil mixture, stir.
-
Next, add the mozzarella pearls, stir. If they come packaged in water, strain before adding.
-
Place one of the deli container lids right side up on the cutting board. Add about 8-10 of the rinsed tomatoes.
-
Next, put the second lid upside down on top of the tomatoes.
-
Use the palm of your hand to hold them in place and slice them in half using a serrated or very sharp kitchen knife. *It’s important you use tomatoes that are relatively the same size. *
-
Repeat this process until all your tomatoes are added into the bowl.
-
Mix well. Serve immediately with warm bread or cover and chill until you’re ready to enjoy!
