Chopped Caprese Salad

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

1 (10 oz.) container grape tomatoes, halved or quartered

4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed

1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, (I used about 25 small leaves), torn

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, (or balsamic glaze)

sea salt, to taste ( I like pink himalayan)

Directions

In a medium bowl, toss together the cut up tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil leaves.

Add olive oil to bowl, and lightly toss together.

Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the top of salad.

Sprinkle salt as desired.

Notes

Can add more olive oil or balsamic vinegar as desired - it's always good to start small and work your way up!

Balsamic glaze is thicker and you can use either this or balsamic vinegar - even better if you want to use a little bit of both! The glaze gives it a nice finished look.
