1 pint blueberries
2 pints cherry tomatoes
Fresh basil, to taste
Balsamic vinegar, to taste
Olive oil, to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
Firm buffalo mozzarella cheese, sliced
Instructions
1. Rinse the blueberries and cherry tomatoes thoroughly, then let them drain well.
2. Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and place them in a serving bowl with the blueberries.
3. Slice the mozzarella into thin rounds, then use a small cutter to shape them if desired.
4. Add the mozzarella on top of the blueberry and tomato mixture.
5. Tear fresh basil leaves over everything.
6. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

This adds visual appeal but requires extra time.
Best served immediately after assembling.
Grape tomatoes can replace cherry tomatoes.
