Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Spiralizing the Zucchini Noodles: Use a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler to create zucchini noodles. If you’re using a peeler, aim for thin strips to keep them light and fresh.
- Combining Fresh Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the zucchini noodles, halved cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, and chopped basil. Allow the ingredients to mingle—it’s where the magic happens!
- Drizzling in Flavor: Drizzle your glorious concoction with olive oil and the balsamic glaze. This is where the flavors will come alive, creating that perfect harmony of brightness.
- Seasoning to Taste: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Don’t be shy—just remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take it out!
- Tossing and Serving: Toss everything gently to combine. You want to ensure that each ingredient is well-coated without breaking the delicate zucchini noodles. Serve immediately and dive in!
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Pat zucchini noodles dry after spiralizing to prevent sogginess.
