Black pepperA grind

Method

Drain the mozzarella and pat it dry on kitchen paper, then tear it into rough pieces about the size of a grape. Torn edges hold dressing; cut ones do not.
Halve the grapes and toss them on a plate with the mozzarella, a pinch of salt and the torn basil.
Dot the balsamic glaze over in drops and finish with black pepper. Leave it five minutes at room temperature before eating.

Worth knowing

Light mozzarella is 165 kcal per 100 g against 280 for the full-fat kind, and in a dish this cold and sharp the difference in texture is hard to spot.
Grapes with cheese was normal before tomatoes were. It still works.
