INGREDIENTS

  • Marinade

    • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons oil packed sun-dried tomatoes
    • 🌿 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
    • 🌿 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
    • 🍋 1 teaspoon lemon zest
    • 🍋 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

  • Main Ingredients

    • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls in water
    • 1/3 cup pimento-stuffed olives

STEPS

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.

3

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.
