This classic recipe makes an elegant presentation for the holidays. A wreath of DOLE® Organic Spring Mix, artfully decorated with Capri tomatoes, pearlini mozzarella balls, pomegranate seeds and a drizzle of basil-pesto. You’ll be amazed with the simple preparation and stunning appearance.
Directions
- Combine basil pesto and olive oil, set aside.
- Arrange DOLE Organic Spring Mix salad blend around the outside of a platter in a wreath shape. Cut one-third of the tomatoes in half while leaving remaining tomatoes whole. Create a tomato wreath on top of greens. Choose five locations around the wreath to place mozzarella.
- Season salad with salt and pepper, then drizzle both balsamic and pesto-olive oil dressing around the wreath.
Tips & Tricks
If you cannot find the tiny pearlini mozzarella, then the next size is bocconcini (cherry size) and that will work just fine. Otherwise, cut a ball of fresh mozzarella into ½-inch pieces to use in the salad.
