Instructions

- Use paper towels to gently press down on each softened mozzarella ball in its mold.
- Place the molds in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up the cheese.

- Drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the salad and gently toss to coat.
- Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, top with salt, pepper, and fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately.
Notes
For best flavor, use the freshest mozzarella and tomatoes. Monitor the heating carefully to avoid melting the cheese too much.
