The flavors meld as the salad chills, making it even better after it sits. Enjoy it on its own, spoon it over toasted pasta or add it to an antipasto spread. Ingredients: 1 pint cherry tomatoes 1 (8-ounce) package mozzarella pearls 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil ½ cup white-wine vinegar 3 medium cloves garlic, minced ¼ cup chopped fresh basil 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon ground pepper Directions: Combine 1 pint cherry tomatoes, 1 package mozzarella pearls, 1 cup oil, ½ cup vinegar, the minced garlic, ¼ cup basil, 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper and ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper in a 1-quart jar with a tight-fitting lid (or in a large bowl). Shake the jar (or toss in the bowl) until evenly combined. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
