Notes
The balsamic glaze does have sugar in it. You can make a homemade version with your favorite sweetener or skip the glaze entirely. Nutrition is calculated based on a glaze with 12g carbs per 2 tbsp serving.
Pat dry the mozzarella pearls before adding to the bowl to remove any excess moisture.
