This Snowball Salad Wreath is a colorful and festive salad to enjoy with friends and family. Serve it as a delicious appetizer with a fresh baguette or make it a fun side salad at your next holiday party.
Ingredients
- fresh mozzarella
- cherry tomatoes
- black olives
- peppercorn
- basil
- olive oil
- balsamic glaze
- sea salt
- pepper
Instructions
1. Halve the fresh mozzarella. You may need to trim the halves so they are round.
2. Arrange the cheese round side up on a platter.
3. Scatter the cherry tomatoes around the cheese. You can halve some of the tomatoes to make it easier to fill the space.
4. Quarter an olive and trim the inside of the flesh off.
5. Use a sharp knife to cut the olive skin into v-shapes for the snowball eyes and the curved smiles.
6. Top the olive eyes and mouth onto the mozzarella. I also used peppercorns for eyes on two of the snowballs.
7. Fill basil leaves in all the gaps.
8. Drizzle with balsamic glaze, olive oil, sea salt and pepper.
9. Serve.
Notes
To save time, just use peppercorn for the eyes and mouth.
