Marinated Bocconcini image

Bocconcini are just bite-size morsels of fresh mozzarella. Look for them at specialty food stores and Italian markets, as well as many supermarkets; they're usually packaged in water or whey for freshness. Match these marinated bocconcini with sliced salami, grape tomatoes, pitted olives, or cantaloupe balls.
