Ingredients
Scale
- 1/4 extra virgin cup olive oil
- 1 medium clove garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano*
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 8 ounces ciliegine mozzarella balls, drained
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic, fresh oregano, fresh parsley, kosher salt, and red pepper flakes. Taste and add additional salt to taste. Allow to marinate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Serve immediately after marinating. Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving since the olive oil solidifies when cold.
Notes
*Fresh oregano is worth seeking out for the flavor here. If dried is all you can access, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
