Ingredients
6 servings
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes, mozzarella and fresh basil. Drizzle evenly with 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze. Then toss to combine.
- Taste and season with salt and black pepper as needed (I used a generous pinch of each) and add more balsamic glaze if you would like.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
- Optional: If you would like to add in pasta, cook the pasta according to package instructions in a generously-salted pot of boiling water until it is al dente. Drain and rinse the pasta with cold water in a colander until chilled. Then stir the pasta into your cucumber salad, adding an extra tablespoon or two of the balsamic glaze plus salt and pepper to taste.
