Preparation Time: 10 minutes

Start to Finish Time: 30 minutes

Yield: About 12 appetizer servings

• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1-1/2 pounds very fresh, cherry-size mozzarella balls
• 1 pound cherry tomatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

In a medium-size bowl, mix oil and seasonings with a whisk. Add mozzarella balls and tomatoes and toss gently. Marinate at least 20 minutes, up to overnight. Pour into a serving bowl, garnish with parsley, and serve with toothpicks -- or arrange them on a platter with toothpicks already inserted.
