Christmas Wreath
You all know how much we love Caprese over here! I mean, what’s not to love? Fresh and juicy grape tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil leaves are dressed with olive oil and Italian herbs! A combination PERFECT for a Caprese Christmas Wreath!
Load it all up with toothpicks for easy picking or skewering while adding to a ‘wreath’ design, and watch their faces as they enjoy every piece of this appetizer. This Caprese Christmas Wreath was a joy to make, a joy to eat, and a joy to look at. Just 10 minutes to a silky, smooth balsamic glaze, OR use store bought and make your salad in less than 5 minutes!
HOW TO MAKE A CAPRESE WREATH!
We use grape tomatoes for this one, but you can use cherry tomatoes. Grab a serving platter and arrange the tomatoes and fresh mozzarella balls around the rim of the platter. Try to get mozzarella balls the same size as the tomatoes for a great visual effect. Drizzle the edible Christmas wreath olive oil and season with Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Toss the tomatoes and cheese balls through the oil with a spoon. Garnish with the fresh shredded basil and arrange whole basil leaves around the platter for decoration.
Balsamic Glaze
Use store bought balsamic glaze or use our homemade balsamic glaze recipe! When ready to serve your Christmas wreath, place a bowl of balsamic glaze in the centre of the wreath. Arrange toothpicks around and underneath the tomato and cheese balls, with the sharp ends toward the middle of the plate for easy entertaining!
