Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad Recipe

Recipe By Southern Living

A caprese saladtomatoes, basil, and fresh mozzarella cheeseis one of the easiest and most delicious ways to show off peak-season southern-grown tomatoes. Give this salad a fun new look by using a mix of multicolored cherry tomatoes and small fresh mozzarella balls (also called bocconcini) tossed in a simple vinaigrette. The dressing calls for white balsamic vinegarregular balsamic vinegar will taste fine, but will turn the cheese brownbut you can use white wine vinegar instead. While we love the look of this side dish on a pretty platter, you can also skewer the ingredients to make caprese kebabs. Either way, cherry tomato caprese salad is best served at room temperature (not straight from the refrigerator) when the tomatoes are juicy and the cheese is soft.
