Ghostly Halloween Caprese Salad

Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes)
  • 1 package (8 oz) fresh mozzarella balls (mini mozzarella balls or bocconcini)
  • Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze (for drizzling)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Black olives (sliced, for ghost eyes)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Mozzarella Ghosts:
    • Gently pat the mozzarella balls dry with paper towels. If they are not already bite-sized, you can cut them into smaller pieces.
  • Assemble the Ghosts:
    • Arrange the mozzarella balls on a serving platter. Use a small knife or toothpick to create ghostly shapes. You can do this by slightly flattening one side of each mozzarella ball and using a small piece of black olive to create eyes.
  • Add the Tomatoes:
    • Place cherry tomatoes around the mozzarella ghosts on the platter. These will act as “pumpkin” accents to complement the ghostly figures.
  • Garnish and Season:
    • Tuck fresh basil leaves in between the ghosts and tomatoes for a touch of green.
    • Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze over the entire platter.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve:
    • Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. This salad is best enjoyed fresh.
