Place halved cherry tomatoes, fresh blueberries, basil leaves, and mozzarella pearls in a large bowl.
2 pints cherry tomatoes, 1 pint fresh blueberries, ⅓ cup fresh basil leaves, 8 ounce fresh mozzarella pearls
Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined.
Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired.
2 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar, 2 ½ tablespoons olive oil, Salt and pepper
Refrigerate until ready to serve, or serve immediately.

Prepare this salad just before serving for the freshest flavors and best texture.
For a more dramatic presentation, arrange the ingredients in stripes on a rectangular platter to resemble the American flag.
Keep the basil leaves whole for the best visual impact, or tear larger leaves into smaller pieces.
If making ahead, wait to add the dressing until just before serving to prevent the cheese from absorbing too much of the vinegar.
For the best flavor, let the salad sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving if it's been refrigerated.
