let's do it
  1. Rinse cherry tomatoes and slice into halves. Using a spiralizer with the smallest blades, make zucchini noodles. Place tomatoes and ‘noodles’ in large bowl and cover with mozzarella balls. If small balls are not available, cut a large mozzarella ball into smaller chunks.
  2. Drizzle vinegar over salad and toss. Check for seasoning then transfer to serving bowl or individual plates and garnish with sliced basil leaves.
One Last Thing

We kept the seasonings simple, but don’t be afraid to experiment with a little oregano or add heat with red pepper flakes.
