4th July Salad
Ingredients
- 4 slices watermelon
- 8 blackberries
- 50 grams blueberries
- 10 strawberries
- 21 mozzarella balls
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
- sea salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Slice the watermelon.
- Use the small and medium heart cutters to make the watermelon hearts.
- Repeat with the strawberries (mine were small, so I only made small heart cutouts).
- Arrange the strawberry and watermelon hearts on a round platter in three separate sections. Leave a corner at the top left for the blue section.
- Top the red stripes with a few halved strawberries.
- Place the bocconcini in the gap between each section.
- Fill the corner with blackberries and blueberries.
- Slice 2 boccincini and cut out a few stars with the cutter. Place these on top of the blackberries and blueberries.
- Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper.
- Serve.
