Wash and dry the strawberries, then hull and slice them in half or quarters, depending on their size.
Slice or tear the mozzarella into bite-sized pieces.
Tear or leave the basil leaves whole, depending on your preference.
Step 2: Assemble the Salad
On a serving platter or individual plates, alternate slices of strawberry and mozzarella, arranging them in a circular pattern or rows for a visually appealing presentation.
Tuck fresh basil leaves throughout the arrangement for a pop of color and freshness.
Step 3: Drizzle & Season
Drizzle the balsamic glaze evenly over the strawberries and mozzarella.
Add a light drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for richness.
Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 4: Serve
Garnish with additional cracked black pepper, flaky sea salt, or more fresh basil if desired.
Serve immediately as an appetizer, side dish, or light dessert.
