Marinated Buffalo Mozzarella & Tomato Salad Recipe

Step 1: To make the marinade. Scatter the fennel seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat and dry-roast until they begin to pop. Transfer to a mortar and pestle and crush roughly. Place the crushed seeds in a small bowl and add the remaining marinade ingredients.
Step 2: Break the mozzarella roughly with your hands. Smear it with the marinade and set aside for 15-30 minutes.
Step 3: To serve, cut the tomatoes into wedges and plate along with the marinated mozzarella. Drizzle with extra olive oil and serve.
