Ingredients

4 cups cherry or grape tomatoes halved
2 cups fresh mozzarella balls halved
1/4 cup red onion minced
1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs such as parsley, basil, chives, green onions, oregano
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Place the tomatoes, mozzarella balls, red onion and herbs in a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sugar, oregano, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste.
Pour the dressing over the tomato mixture and gently toss to coat evenly. Serve.

Notes

If you prefer grape tomatoes, those work just as well, but cherry tomatoes are usually my go-to.
I think it’s really fun to get the multi color cherry tomatoes you usually find at the Farmer’s Market and use those in this tomato and mozzarella salad. It makes for quite a gorgeous side dish with little effort involved.
Use a serrated knife to easily cut the tomatoes in half.
