- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- In a large mixing bowl, combine the spiralized zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes, and mozzarella balls.
- Add the torn basil leaves into the bowl, and then drizzle the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top.
- Gently toss everything together until well combined. Make sure the ingredients are evenly coated with the olive oil and vinegar.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
- Transfer the salad to a serving platter, and finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze on top for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve immediately, or let it chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
