Ingredients

5 ounces fresh baby spinach
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
1/2 cup fresh basil cut into ribbons
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon tellicherry black pepper

Instructions

On a plate or in a bowl, add the fresh spinach, and mozzarella balls.
Slice tomatoes, and arrange them around the mozzarella. I used a mix of cherry tomatoes for color - but pick the sweetest and most in-season tomatoes you can find (usually cherry tomatoes are my go-to off season).
Top with the fresh shredded basil. In a small bowl, the olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Drizzle over the salad and crack fresh black pepper over the salad.
Serve immediately, and enjoy!
