Pesto Caprese Salad

Zara Shaw

Report

Pesto Caprese Salad only has a handful of ingredients, but it really packs a flavour punch with baby tomatoes and mozzarella balls in a basil pesto dressing.

Instructions

Add basil pesto and olive oil to a small bowl, mix well to combine then set aside.
Add tomatoes, bocconcini, sliced basil and salt to a large bowl.
Add pesto dressing and mix to combine.
Transfer the mixture to your serving platter, drizzle with balsamic glaze and serve immediately.

Notes

Substitute a bigger size of mozzarella balls and halve them or chop up one large one.
Drain the bocconcini well so they don't water down your pesto dressing.
