Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta with halved grape or cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, and torn basil leaves. Gently toss to mix.
- Drizzle olive oil over the combined ingredients in the bowl and toss gently to coat.
- Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste and toss again. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
- Transfer the toss salad to a serving dish, arranging ingredients for visual appeal.
- Drizzle balsamic glaze over the salad in a zigzag pattern before serving.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for deeper flavors.

Notes
Refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to meld flavors. Keep balsamic glaze separate until serving to prevent sogginess.
