My family is Italian so I grew up eating lots of Italian foods and this salad is a simple, classic dish. My mom always served it with fresh slices of tomato and mozzarella, it was the only way I would eat tomatoes! This appetizer is a fun twist on the classic salad; bite size and easy to eat. These take a little bit of time to make but will be a hit at your next event.
Needs:
Cherry tomatoes
Mozzarella (I get the pearls)
Basil (leaves or chopped)
EVOO
Balsamic Vinegar
To do:
Cut the top off of each tomato and scoop out the middle (this is the time consuming part).
Fill each tomato with mozzarella and a basil leaf (if you are using the whole leaf)
Place your tomatoes on a dish and drizzle balsamic vinegar and EVOO.
If you are using chopped basil, sprinkle on top of your tomatoes.
Enjoy!
