Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the halved strawberries, mozzarella balls, and slivered basil. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small cup, whisk together the extra-virgin olive oil, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until well combined and slightly emulsified. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the dressing evenly over the strawberry-mozzarella mixture, ensuring each piece is lightly coated. (1 minute)

04

Step

Gently toss the salad to distribute the dressing. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a balsamic glaze drizzle just before serving.
If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute with a small amount of dried basil, but fresh is highly recommended for the best taste.
This salad is best enjoyed immediately after preparation to prevent the strawberries from becoming too soft.
Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the dressing for a subtle kick.
