Red and green are the colours of Christmas, from Santa’s suit to the traditional tree. Welcome your guests with the vibrant red of juicy tomatoes and the fresh green of basil. Add creamy soft cheese and a drizzle of oil, and you’ve got a salad that will impress everyone at the table.
Your shopping list
- Big, ripe tomatoes
- Fresh green basil
- Bocconcini cheese
- Olive oil
This is a simple recipe, so choose ingredients that are fresh and bursting with colour. Bocconcini comes in a 220g supermarket tub; they are small, round balls of cheese. Slice the tomatoes about 1 cm thick. Top each slice with a basil leaf and gently squash a bocconcini ball on top. Arrange your appetizers on a plate, drizzle lightly with olive oil, decorate as you like, and serve.
