This picture isn't great, but the salad is. I made this as a side to our dinner. We didn't eat it all so I used it the next day as a topping on my grilled pizza. It was super yummy both ways.2 pints cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered... or not.
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and patted dry
1 cup chopped fresh basil
In a large bowl, toss the tomatoes, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt together. Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes so that the tomatoes give up some of their juices.
Add the mozzarella cheese and basil. Drizzle the vinegar and olive oil over the tomatoes and mozzarella. Toss in the minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Toss and serve.
