Ingredients
- 500 g cherry tomato 1lb, or mini tomatoes
- 220 g bocconcini 8oz, cherry size
- ⅓ cup basil fresh leaves
- ¼ cup mint leaf fresh
- 1½ tablespoon olive oil see notes, garlic infused
- lemon to taste, juice of half
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the tomatoes (500g/1lb) and cherry bocconcini (220g/8oz) in half and add to a bowl.
- Add fresh basil leaves (⅓ cup) and fresh mint leaves (¼ cup) to the same bowl and toss lightly to combine.
- Add garlic infused olive oil (1½ tbsp), lemon juice (juice of ½ a lemon - to taste), and salt & pepper to taste - serve immediately.
Notes
- *Please note that the amount of calories per serve is provided as a guide only, as ingredients and cooking methods can vary greatly*
- Flavoured olive oils are readily available in the supermarket along side their plain counterpart.
- I have used cherry bocconcini cheese for this recipe, but if you can't find them you could substitute any other fresh mozzarella and just cut it to size.
- Any kind of cherry/mini tomatoes will do - whatever is available and takes your fancy. I have used a mixture of colours for visual effect, totally optional!
- Not a fan of mint? Just sub for more basil!
- This recipe is best made just before serving. If you would like to make it ahead I would add the fresh herbs and dressing (olive oil, lemon juice, salt & pepper) just before serving.
- Have a little taste of your garlic infused olive oil before you use it as they can vary in garlic strength. If you think that the garlic flavour might be a bit strong, you can easily dilute it with plain olive oil.
