Bocconcini Caprese – Fresh Tomato Mozzarella Salad
by Sue Lau | Palatable Pastime
This is one of my favorite summer salads. I always look forward each Spring to the time when tomatoes will be getting ripe enough to make this. It can be tossed together in a few minutes and really doesn’t even need to marinate. Although you could if you wished. But I don’t really like refrigerating my tomatoes. I think it takes away from their texture and flavor.
The bocconcini mozz are smallish and round. You could easily substitute a larger knob of buffalo mozz cut into cubes without noticing it much.
In any case, no matter which type you use, I am sure this will be a summer favorite in your home too, if it is not already!
Enjoy-
