Tomato and Mozzarella Bites
summary:A great way to serve tomato mozzarella salad. Great presentation. Always a hit. You can find the bite-sized mozzarella at most supermarkets. If they are on the larger side, cut them in half....
Ingredients
• 20 grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
• 20 fresh basil leaves
• 20 small balls fresh mozzarella cheese (often labeled bocconcini)
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 20 toothpicks
Directions
Using a toothpick, spear a half of a tomato, a piece of basil, a mozzarella ball, and another half of a tomato. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place on a serving dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix the vinegar and oil together in a small bowl to serve as a dipping sauce.
