Ingredients
You only need 5 ingredients!
Arugula– I love arugula but any salad greens will work for the base of the wreath. Grape tomatoes– grape tomatoes are the perfect size for decorating the wreath and the pop of red is perfect! Fresh mozzarella pearls or balls– use the pearls or balls because they are small in size. If you can’t find them, you can cut fresh mozzarella into pieces. Fresh Basil– tuck in fresh basil leaves for flavor and freshness! Balsamic vinaigrette or balsamic glaze– you can use my homemade balsamic vinaigrette or store bought balsamic glaze. Both work great!
How to Make Caprese Salad Wreath
This recipe is super simple. The amounts will vary depending on the size of platter or board you use. Use the photos for inspiration!
On a large round platter or board, form a circle of arugula that resembles a wreath, leaving a hole in the center. See photo above.
Decorate with tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Drizzle with balsamic vinaigrette or balsamic glaze. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve!
If you want an even MORE festive wreath, you can add pear slices, cucumber slices, pomegranate arils, or cut cheese shapes into stars! Get creative! You can also make individual salad wreaths on salad plates. They would make any holiday table special!
