Barbara's Notes + Tips
- You can use a large ball of fresh mozzarella or the mini balls but you won't get a caprese salad if you use regular mozzarella.
- Don't want to make your own zoodles, sprialized vegetables they are available in the produce section of most groceries.
- Use the freshest squash you can find for crisp noodles.
- If making in advance, wait to pour dressing over it until ready to serve.
- If you don't want it tinged brown from the balsamic vinegar, you can use red wine vinegar but it's not as flavorful.
