Instructions

Drain the mozzarella balls, add them to a mixing bowl and gently toss with the marinade until coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, then toss again.
You can serve them immediately, but for the best flavor It's best to keep them in the marinade for at least 1-2 hour before serving.
