Christmas Wreath Salad
Ingredients
- 5 fresh mozzarella
- 500 grams cherry tomatoes
- 1 black olive
- 6 peppercorn
- fresh basil leaves
- olive oil
- balsamic glaze
- sea salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Halve the fresh mozzarella. You may need to trim the halves so they are round.
- Arrange the cheese the round side up on a platter.
- Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the cheese. You can halve some of the tomatoes to make it easier to fill the space.
- Quarter an olive and trim the inside of the flesh off.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the olive skin into v-shapes for the snowball eyes and the curved smiles.
- Top the olive eyes and mouth onto the mozzarella. I also used peppercorns for eyes on two of the snowballs (to save time, just use peppercorn for the eyes and mouth).
- Fill basil leaves in all the gaps.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze, olive oil, sea salt and pepper.
- Serve.

Notes
I used 5 mozzarella halves for this wreath, but do use all 6 so there is no wastage.
