BOCCONCINI SALAD
Bite-size balls of fresh mozzarella, known as bocconcini, make up this great salad. If possible, seek out mozzarella di bufala, made from water buffalo's milk; a specialty of central and southern Italy, it is a softer, creamier mozzarella than that made from cow's milk.

This salad should be made with the freshest ingredients possible, and is a delight as a side to most any meal! If you can't find, or don't have bocconcini, you could use another size of fresh mozzarella instead.

TOMATO AND BOCCONCINI SALAD
A very quick and pretty dish - the colors of the Italian flag. Can be made with either very fresh mozzarella or bocconcini (fresh mini mozzarellas). My mom used to make this all the time. I don't personally use the salt, but I do like lots of freshly ground pepper on mine. I also like this with oregano. Feel free to experiment! Posted for ZWT 2006.

CRISP TOMATO & BOCCONCINI SALAD
This is one of my favorite salads I used to always buy in the deli of my grocery store until I found this recipe! It is a recipe I got from Rachael Ray's magazine. Boccoccini are bite-size balls of fresh mozzarella. You can substitute 1/2-inch cubes of regular fresh mozzarella, but it's not as good.

Steps:
- Cut peppers into quarters, removing the seeds. Trim the corners off the ends so the pepper lays relatively flat on baking dish (it chars the peppers more evenly!).
- Roast halves under broiler or on grill until skin is blackened, approximately 5 - 8 minutes. (Hint: I usually take each pepper out when done and continue with the rest until all are charred).
- Once removed from the heat, immediately place peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Steam for about 10 minutes (this cools the peppers slightly and makes it easier for the peel to fall off). Uncover and peel off charred skins.
- Combine rest of ingredients and chill for at least 2 hours.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the orzo according to the package directions.
- Meanwhile, heat up a tablespoon of the olive oil in a skillet. Sauté the pine nuts until they're slightly brown; set aside. (You can also just put a single layer of pine nuts on a cookie sheet and pop it in the oven, but I tend to burn them that way.).
- I like the tomatoes and mozzarella balls cut in half to increase my chance of getting one or the other in each mouthful, but if you're pressed for time, just dump them into a large bowl with a glug of olive oil, the vinegar, and the bocconcini marinade. Add the basil and the reserved pine nuts.
- Drain and rinse the pasta in cold water. Shake as much water from the pasta as you can.
- Stir the pasta into the tomato-mozzarella mixture and mix well.
- Check the seasoning and add more olive oil, vinegar, salt, and/or pepper if needed. Serve.
