Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, diced
  • 1.5 cups fresh mozzarella, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp balsamic glaze
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep the vegetables and cheese: On a clean work surface, dice the cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella into bite-sized pieces. Chop the fresh basil finely to release its aroma and flavor.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add the diced tomatoes, mozzarella, and chopped basil. Drizzle with olive oil and add the minced garlic. Season with salt and black pepper. Mix everything gently until all ingredients are evenly coated and well combined.
  3. Serve: Transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the top to add a hint of sweetness and acidity. Serve immediately with your choice of crackers, sliced baguette, pita bread, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality mozzarella and ripe cherry tomatoes for the best flavor.
  • You can substitute balsamic glaze with balsamic vinegar if needed, but glaze provides a thicker, sweeter finish.
  • This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 4 hours before serving.
  • For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
  • Pair with crusty bread or crispy crackers for texture contrast.
