Drain the mozzarella balls, let them drain, and transfer them to a sealable container or bowl. Add the pesto, oil, salt, and pepper. Press the fresh garlic over them. Close the container and shake well to coat all the balls with the marinade. Let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight is best. Shake once or twice more during the marinade. After marinating, thread the balls onto a toothpick or small skewer, along with a tomato and a fresh basil leaf. Arrange on a plate or tray and serve.
