Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (300g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 8 oz (225g) bocconcini (mini mozzarella balls), halved
  • ½ cup (15g) fresh basil leaves, torn
  • ¼ cup (40g) red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp (45ml) extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) balsamic vinegar
  • 1 clove (5g) garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp (3g) salt
  • ¼ tsp (1g) black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Halve the cherry tomatoes and bocconcini balls. Slice the red onion into paper-thin half-moons. Place all prepped ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
  2. Combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a glass jar. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds until the mixture transforms into a smooth, glossy emulsion.
  3. Drizzle the dressing over the tomato mixture. Using a large spoon, gently fold the ingredients together until evenly coated, folding in the torn basil leaves last to prevent bruising.
