How to Make Tomato And Bocconcini Salad

  1. Thinly slice 1/2 medium red onion. In a medium bowl, toss the onion with 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar and a pinch of salt.
  2. Spread the onions in a single layer on a plate and let sit for 20 minutes to pickle.
  3. While the onions pickle, combine 2 cups of cherry or grape tomatoes, 1/4 cup Kalamata olives (halved), 1 teaspoon dried basil, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large bowl.
  4. Season the tomato mixture lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. In a separate bowl, gently toss 8 ounces bocconcini (or 1/2-inch cubes of fresh mozzarella), 1 teaspoon dried basil, 2 tablespoons olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
  6. To assemble, layer the pickled red onions, tomato mixture, and bocconcini in four martini glasses or small bowls. Garnish with fresh basil leaves (optional).
