I’ll admit, summer isn’t my favorite season—primarily because of the heat. However, one thing I do enjoy about it is the refreshing, light recipes that come with the season. One of my absolute favorites is pickled mozzarella. It’s incredibly easy to make, bursting with flavor, and makes the perfect side dish for a barbecue or picnic.
