Marinated mozzarella balls take advantage of the fact that mozzarella balls are creamy, and somewhat neutral flavored. They're just waiting for a zingy herb-packed marinade to turn them into one of the easiest and tastiest appetizers ever.
Ingredients
- 0.5 cups extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons oil packed sun-dried tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- 2 garlics cloves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls in wate
- 0.33 cups pimento-stuffed olives
Instructions
-
1
For marinade, combine olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley, basil, garlic, Italian seasoning, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes in a bowl; season with salt and pepper.
-
2
Add mozzarella balls and olives to marinade, gently tossing until well coated, and balls are mostly submerged in marinade. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or preferably overnight. If possible, stir occasionally.

Store in a tightly-covered glass jar in the refrigerator. Olive oil will solidify, so remove from the fridge about 15 minutes before serving so that olive oil can liquefy.
