Marinated Mozzarella

Summertime veggies are bursting with flavor!  I love mixing in season veggies with good oil/cheese combos to create salads, cheese trays & even full meals. I use my Marinated Mozzarella mix with asparagus in the late spring/early summer, & with Zucchini, Eggplant, Peppers, & of course with Tomatoes as they all come into their season throughout the summer months.

This recipe is super forgiving – you have a different fresh herb you prefer, or you have dried herbs instead? Go for it! You like it hotter? Add more Red Pepper Flake!  You want to try it with Lemon Peels added in? Sounds great!

I use a ball or two of fresh mozzarella that I hand tear. It doesn’t have to be Italian Deli quality (although you certainly can use great cheese if you have access to it), I just use supermarket fresh whole milk mozzarella.  I do use an airtight glass jar to store it in the fridge it – try one of these kinds of options:

Keep it in the fridge & let warm to room temp before serving.  Yummy a few hours after combining up & to 2 weeks.
