Festive burrata platter shaped into snow globes topped with fun bocconcini snowmen and cucumber Christmas trees.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 burrata cheese
- 150 grams bocconcini mozzarella balls
- 300 grams grape tomatoes halved
- 1 small cucumber
- 1 small carrot
- 9 fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- sea salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Drain the burrata carefully on a piece of kitchen roll (paper towel).
- Place the drained burrata in the middle of a platter (my platter was approximately 20cm/8 inches).
- Cut a 3 cm (1 inch) piece of cucumber.
- Peel and halve the cucumber lengthwise.
- Halve one of the halves again and arrange the slices underneath the cheese to make the snow globe bases.
- Cut a small square of cucumber to make a tree trunk and shape three triangles out of cucumber peel. Repeat for a second tree.
- Place the tree details on top of a burrata to make the Christmas tree snow globe.
- Halve two bocconcini and trim the back so they can lay flat. Repeat for the second snowman.
- Place the bocconcini snowmen side by side on the second burrata.
- Top with chia seeds for eyes, mouth, and buttons.
- Use cucumber peel to make a scarf and trim a small triangle out of carrot for the nose.
- Arrange the halved grape tomatoes cut side down on the platter.
- Scatter with bocconcini to resemble snow.
- Fill any gaps with fresh basil leaves.
- When ready to serve, drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze on the salad.
- Season with sea salt and pepper.
