Marinated Mozzarella

bullet

3 (8 ounce) blocks mozzarella cheese

bullet

1 pint grape tomatoes, halved

bullet

½ cup olive oil

bullet

3 TBSP chopped flat-leaf parsley

bullet

1 teaspoon EACH garlic powder and onion powder

bullet

Fresh basil to taste

bullet

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

bullet

¼ teaspoon EACH salt and pepper

Cut cheese into 1" cubes. Arrange cubes and tomato halves in an 8" square dish.

Whisk together olive oil, parsley, and next six ingredients. Pour evenly over cheese cubes. Cover and chill 8-24 hours.

Transfer cheese and tomatoes to serving plate. Drizzle with marinade. Yield: about 4 cups.

NOTE: My cousin made this for us at our cousins’ reunion this year. She found the recipe in October 2007 Southern Living magazine. It did call for an 8.5 ounce package of sundried tomatoes in oil, drained and halved. She chose to use the grape tomatoes instead. Initially she didn’t add ALL of the tomatoes, just as we needed more (the second evening). The original recipe also called for ½ teaspoon dried oregano, but she had fresh basil she chose to use instead. She also said she used Boars Head Mozzarella. That she had found out over the years that the kind of mozzarella used made a HUGE difference!
