List of Ingredients



• 1 lb. tiny balls fresh mozzarella
  
• 6 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  
• 4 Tbsp red wine vinegar
  
• 1/4 to 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  
• 1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt
  
• 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  
• 2 Tbsp coarsely chopped fresh basil leaves
  
• Cocktail picks
  






Instructions



1. Drain the mozzarella in a colander. Spread on a paper towel-lined plate and drain for about 5 minutes.
   
   
2. Combine the olive oil, vinegar, crushed pepper flakes, salt and pepper; the marinade does not need to be completely mixed. In a bowl, combine the mozzarella, marinade and basil. Cover and marinate in refrigerator overnight. Stir occasionally.
   
   
3. Remove from refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving. Transfer to a serving bowl with a slotted spoon. Place a small bowl of cocktail picks on the side.
