Ingredients
Balsamic Glaze (or use ¾ cup store bought):
- 1 ½ cups balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
Salad:
- 12 ounces grape tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
- 10 ounces cherry-sized bocconcini mozzarella balls
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3-4 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves shredded, to garnish
- 1 pinch flaked sea salt to season
- 1 pinch ground pepper
Instructions
For The Balsamic Glaze:
- Combine the vinegar and sugar in a small saucepan. Cook while stirring over low heat for 4-5 minutes, or until sugar has dissolved. Increase heat to medium setting and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and allow to simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until reduced by one-third and thickened like syrup.
Cup of Yum
For The Salad:
- Wash and dry the tomatoes. Arrange them in a circle on a large serving plate or round platter. Drain the mozzarella balls and arrange between the tomatoes.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with the Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Toss the tomatoes and bocconcini through the oil with a spoon.
- Garnish with the fresh shredded basil.
Serve:
- To serve, place the bowl of balsamic glaze in the centre of the wreath. Arrange toothpicks around and underneath the tomato and cheese balls, with the sharp ends toward the middle of the plate.
Notes
- We use our homemade balsamic glaze recipe but you also use store bought.
