Ingredients
  • 4 oz. mozzarella pearls drain if packed water
  • 4 oz. grape or cherry tomatoes halved
  • 4 oz. fresh blueberries or thawed frozen berries
  • ¼ cup coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 2 tbsp (+/-) balsamic syrup or balsamic dressing
  • Optional: slices of mozzarella to punch out star shapes with a cookie cutter
Instructions
  1. Toss mozzarella pearls, tomatoes, blueberries and basic in a serving bowl. Drizzle with balsamic syrup.
  2. If desired, used cookie cutter to punch out star shapes from slices of mozzarella cheese.
  3. Best served when made, but leftovers stay good in the fridge for up to 3 days (although basil may oxidize a bit, it’s still fine to eat).
