Equipment
Ingredients
- 30 mini mozzarella balls
- 10 oz Grape Tomatoes
- 1/2 Tbsp French EVOO
- 1 tsp Balsamic Barrel Aged Vinegar
- Sel Gris Mill
- Fresh Basil
- fresh sage leaves
Instructions
MOZZARELLA PREPARATION
- Place the mini mozzarella balls into a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 15 seconds at a time until they are soft to the touch and lightly melted (45 seconds for me). NOTE: The cooking time will depend on the size of the mozzarella you use.30 mini mozzarella balls
- Remove the bowl from the microwave and drain the water. Take 2 balls of mozzarella at a time and press them down into each well of the skull mold. NOTE: It will release additional liquid, that's normal. Press down a kitchen towel on top to absorb and refrigerate while preparing the salad.
ASSEMBLY
- Slice your washed grape tomatoes (I like mine 1/2 sliced lengthwise and 1/2 sliced across). Season with the French EVOO, Balsamic and sel gris. Add Fresh Basil and Sage on top.
