DIRECTIONS
To a mixing bowl, add halved tomatoes, shallots, garlic, basil, oregano, Bocconcini, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Gently toss until the ingredients are well combined, cover and transfer to the fridge for at least 1 hour.
To make the vinaigrette: In a small container, add extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, granulated sugar and hot paprika. Cover and shake well until everything is well blended. Transfer to the fridge until ready to serve.
Before pouring the vinaigrette over the salad, give another good shake to make sure it’s well mixed, pour it on, and gently toss the salad until the ingredients are well coated.
