Sweet grape tomatoes complement the  tangy citrus for an unexpected burst of flavor.  Serve as a side salad or make a batch to serve as tapas. Top with fresh basil, cilantro or mint and dig in!

Ingredients for the vinaigrette:

4 Tbls pink grapefruit juice
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
fresh ground black pepper to taste

1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 lb fresh mozzarella cut into small cubes
1 Tbls fresh Thai basil (or Italian basil chopped)

To prepare the vinaigrette: marinate the chopped shallot in the juice for 30 minutes. Mix in the oil and the pepper.

Mix the tomatoes with the mozzarella in a bowl, toss well with the vinaigrette. Assemble the salad on serving dishes and sprinkle with the basil leaves. Enjoy with a light Pinot Grigio.
