  • Mini mozzarella balls

Why this recipe works

  • Room-temperature tomatoes taste dramatically better than fridge-cold ones. Take them out 30 minutes before assembling.
  • Use the small mozzarella balls packed in water, not shredded low-moisture mozzarella — the creamy texture is the point.
  • Add the basil last and handle it gently. Bruised basil turns black fast; whole leaves stay bright and pretty.
