Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the cucumber slices, halved cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella balls.
Tear the basil leaves and add them to the bowl.
Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Gently toss everything together until well coated.
Transfer to a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.

Notes

Use English cucumbers for fewer seeds and a crisper texture.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of Italian seasoning.
Best served fresh, but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours before serving.
