Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1.5 cups Fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine)
- 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.5 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 5 Fresh rosemary sprigs (for garnish)
Instructions
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half lengthwise and set aside.
If the mozzarella balls are large, slice them in half to achieve a similar size to the halved cherry tomatoes.
On a large circular platter, arrange the mozzarella balls, cherry tomato halves, and fresh basil leaves in a circular wreath shape, alternating between the three to create a balanced and colorful appearance.
Lightly drizzle the olive oil evenly over the wreath.
Add a drizzle of balsamic glaze over the wreath for flavor and visual appeal.
Season with kosher salt and black pepper to taste, ensuring an even distribution.
Tuck sprigs of rosemary around the edges of the wreath for a festive, evergreen look.
Serve immediately as a delightful and decorative appetizer for your holiday table.
