Beetroot and Basil Pesto Insalata Caprese
I used full size bocconcini for this recipe, but a buffalo mozarella ball of about the same total weight would be just fine. Basil pesto from a jar is fine, or you could make your own using this quick pesto recipe, just omit the cheese. Leftovers are great for mixing through pasta or as a topping for steak.
