This is an easy way to use mozzarella balls that takes them from already good to really really good. These marinated mozzarella balls are zingy, herby, so full of flavour. I like them in salads or they make an excellent canapé on a little cocktail stick with cherry tomatoes and basil. Or they are great with tomatoes and basil again on crostini, they make a delicious quick lunch or snack.
Or the most simple way to use marinated mozzarella balls is just tossed into a tomato salad. This strawberry and tomato salad would be a perfect recipe to use them up.
