Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 8 oz mini mozzarella balls

Dressing:

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 tsp honey
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  • To a small jar, add all the dressing ingredients and shake vigorously to emulsify.
  • In a medium bowl, add the halved tomatoes and mozzarella balls.
  • Drizzle with the prepared dressing and toss to combine.
  • Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Use any tomatoes. We highly recommend using cherry or grape tomatoes. They are sweet, crunchy, and perfect for this salad.
  • Oil: we used olive oil but other oils like grapeseed oil or avocado oil will work
  • vinegar: we used red wine, but you may use white or balsamic.
  • use fresh garlic and not garlic powder
  • fresh parsley is preferred but if in a pinch use dried parsley
