Marinated Mozzarella, Olives and Cherry Tomatoes

Step 1

Put cherry tomatoes in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Add the olives and toss.

Step 2

In a small bowl, stir together olive oil, vinegar, garlic, oregano and red-pepper flakes. Pour mixture over tomatoes and olives. Toss well to coat and let sit for at least 10 minutes and up to an hour.

Step 3

When ready to eat, arrange mozzarella in the center of a large platter (or arrange on individual plates). Spoon tomato and olive mixture over mozzarella. Garnish with lots of basil leaves.
