Imagine fresh oregano, basil, lime, and crushed garlic marinating over an open buffalo mozzarella. Therefore, all the natural juices infusing the mozzarella. Sweet, tangy, all intertwine and the end result is this fantastic mozzarella full of flavor.

Served as an appetizer. Simply marinate the mozzarella and when ready to serve add the sliced or quartered tomatoes Drizzle some of the remaining marinades over the tomatoes to bring in all the flavors.

 

Or as a light dinner by adding a bed of arugula. I have a special love for arugula, but you can use radicchio, cresson, or butter lettuce. However, let marinate the buffalo mozzarella alone and at the time of dinner transfer it over the salad bed. The acidity of the lemon will wilt the salad if the two are prepared at the same time. And the marinade is what gives this dish such a fantastic flavor.
