Bocconcini Salad

SUBMITTED BY: Mario

"Bite-size balls of fresh mozzarella, known as bocconcini make up this great salad. If possible, seek out mozzarella di bufala, made from water buffalo's milk; a specialty of central and southern Italy, it is a softer, creamier mozzarella than that made from cow's milk."
