Instructions
 

How to Make Sweet Savory Bites

  • Wash all your vegetables thoroughly. Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and cut the kernels off the corn cob.
  • Gently cut your mozzarella or feta into bite-sized pieces. Pat mozzarella dry to prevent excess moisture.
  • In a large mixing bowl, gently toss together the tomatoes, corn, cucumber, cheese, and fresh basil leaves.
  • Drizzle extra virgin olive oil and your choice of red wine vinegar or lemon juice over the salad. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Lightly toss the salad ingredients together without bruising the tomatoes.
  • Taste your creation, and adjust the seasoning. A pinch of sugar can help if the tomatoes are tangy.
  • Transfer the salad to a serving platter, and garnish with microgreens or arugula.

Notes

For best flavor, use fresh ingredients and dress the salad just before serving.
