Marinated Mozzarella Cheese - A Flavorful & Easy Appetizer - Steph’s Stove

fresh mozzarella

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

💰Cheaper: string cheese

String cheese is more affordable and easier to find.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive while still providing a neutral flavor.

balsamic vinegar

🥗Healthier: red wine vinegar

💰Cheaper: white vinegar

White vinegar is inexpensive and can mimic acidity.

fresh basil

🥗Healthier: dried basil

💰Cheaper: spinach

Spinach adds freshness and is often cheaper than fresh herbs.

Place cubed cheese in a bowl and set aside.

In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup extra virgin olive oil, parsley, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, basil, oregano, red pepper flake, and salt and pepper.

Place cheese cubes in jars of choice, pour oil-herb mixture over cheese cubes, and cover with extra oil until cheese is completely covered with the oil.

Using a clean damp cloth, wipe rims and secure with lids.

Gently toss to distribute herbs, chill at least 2 hours, stirring a few times.

Store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
