Source: Better Homes and Gardens


List of Ingredients




1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 to 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
16 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
Tomato slices (optional)
Baguette slices or crackers


Recipe



1. Set aside several whole basil leaves for garnish. Using a sharp knife, chop remaining basil leaves. Combine chopped basil, oil, vinegar, and pepper in a medium bowl. Cut mozzarella into 1-inch cubes; toss cheese cubes gently with herb and oil mixture until cheese is well-coated. Cover and chill for 1 hour or up to 5 days.

2. Transfer cheese mixture to a serving dish; garnish with basil leaves and, if desired, tomato slices. Serve with baguette slices or crackers. Makes 14 to 16 servings.
