I made this for July 4th and everyone loved it. Like other reviewers, I used fresh baby mozzarella balls and white balsamic vinegar. I also used kosher/sea salt, freshly ground pepper, and shallot instead of onion since that's what I had on hand. The basil looks especially nice if cut chiffonade style (long, thin strips). Just stack all your basil leaves neatly, roll the pile up long ways like a cigar, and then cut crosswise with scissors or a sharp knife. Easy, and faster than chopping. Also, I recommend making this salad ahead of time. I made it the night before and the flavors really changed for the better overnight.

Made this twice now. I made this as written the first time and replaced the mozzarella cheese with Feta, as the only mozzarella I had was shredded and I was afraid it would get icky if not all ate at once and I made a lot. We loved it! I made it with a pomegranate infused vinegar the first time, that was terrific! Second time used regular and we thought it was good too. But the infused vinegar is a little milder. Either way this was just fantastic. Thank you for posting!
