Notes
- The amounts could vary slightly depending on whether you cut each component. I typically purchase an 8 oz. container of mozzarella balls, a 10 oz. container of tomatoes, and a small package of fresh basil.
- The olive oil and balsamic glaze measurements are only recommendations. You can drizzle more or less depending on preference.
