Ingredients
- 12 ounces cherry tomatoes halved
- 12 ounces strawberry hulled and halved
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese usually comes in an (8-ounce) container, ciliegine balls, fresh
- 1/8 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- basil a handful, fresh leaves
pistachio pesto
- 1 cup pistachios shelled
- 3/4 cup basil torn, fresh, loosely packed leaves
- 1/4 cup mint leaf fresh
- 1 garlic clove
- 1/3 cup Pecorino Romano cheese finely grated
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the mozzarella, strawberries and tomatoes. Season with the salt and the pepper and toss well. Toss in the fresh basil leaves. Add a few spoonfuls of the pesto and toss gently with a spatula to evenly distribute it. Serve immediately!
pistachio pesto
- Place the pistachios, basil, mint, garlic and cheese in a food processor. Pulse and blend until the nuts are coarsely chopped, then with the processor on, stream in 1/3 cup of olive oil. Add a little more if necessary, depending on how “spreadable” you want your pesto to be. I don’t mind mine a little thicker, but it means you will have to thoroughly toss the tomatoes and berries a but more. Taste the pesto and add in the salt, blending once more. This will make a little extra pesto than needed, so store it sealed tightly in the fridge for up to a week.
