Photo Credit : Seavey, AimeeThe key to this recipe for marinated mozzarella balls with tomatoes is to buy the freshest mozzarella you can: the texture should be spongy, not dense.
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 pounds cherry-sized mozzarella balls
Cherry tomatoes to equal number or mozzarella balls
Garnish: 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley
In a medium bowl, mix the first five ingredients with a whisk. Add mozzarella balls and toss gently with your hands. Pour into a serving bowl, garnish with parsley, and serve with toothpicks.
