This snowman bocconcini recipe is the perfect Christmas party dish.
Serve it as an impressive side salad, or line up the snowmen to make fun appetizers. Just plate them in one long row with a few rosemary twig 'Christmas trees.'
I like to keep it simple and arrange the snowmen on top of a crisp arugula salad, but you can serve them with any salad you like. A tomato, red onion, and pomegranate salad, or even a Christmas Caesar salad will work wonderfully.
Ingredients
- 5 grape tomatoes
- 25 bocconcini
- 1 carrot
- fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 100 grams arugula
- 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

- sea salt
- pepper
Instructions
Serves 4-6 people.
1. Cut the grape tomatoes in half and slice a bocconcini.
2. Place half a tomato onto a canapé stick and a bocconcini slice to make a hat.
3. Position one bocconcini onto the stick, then a rolled basil leaf (for a scarf), and then another bocconcini.
4. Slice a carrot and cut a small triangle to make the nose.
5. Use chia seeds for the eyes and buttons.
6. Repeat to make the other snowmen.
7. Place the arugula on a platter.
8. Dress the salad with olive oil, balsamic glaze, sea salt, and pepper.
9. Arrange the snowmen sticks on the platter.
