Ingredients

1 to 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze, for
drizzling

2 to 3 tablespoons olive oil

1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Quick Tips

Let the penne cool before mixing so the mozzarella stays fresh and the tomatoes do not become too soft.

Drizzle the balsamic glaze right before serving so the salad stays bright, fresh, and not overly wet.

Fresh basil gives the pasta salad its classic Caprese taste, so add it close to serving for the best aroma and color.
