I first sampled this treat at a party long ago. Mozzarella cheese doesn't have a whole lot of flavor unless you gussy it up. This recipe does. Add it to your hors d'oeurves tray for your next get-together. Even if you don't use sun-dried tomatoes very often, they will keep in your fridge for quite a while. They are great in pasta or potato salads.

MARINATED MOZZARELLA
1/3 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried chives
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound mozzarella cheese, cut in 1 inch cubes

In large resealable plastic bag, combine all ingredients, except cheese. Add cheese cubes. Seal bag and turn several times to coat cheese. Refrigerate at least an hour. Transfer to serving plate. Serve with toothpicks. Makes 8 servings.
