Ingredients

Salad:

Caprese Skewers - Makes 12

Method

Caprese Skewers:

  1. In a bowl, mix the olive oil, oregano and garlic together. Add the mozzarella balls and marinate for at least 1 hour. 

  2. Thread half a cherry tomato on a tooth pick followed by a fresh basil leaf, mozzarella ball, basil leaf and cherry tomato. 

  3. Discard the garlic slices and drizzle the marinade over the skewers.   Season with salt and pepper. 

  4. These are also lovely to serve as a mini appetizer with a drizzle of balsamic glaze! 

Salad Assemble:

  1. On a serving plate, fill half the side with chopped lettuce and top it with sliced cucumber, bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, sweetcorn, capers and sliced radishes and olives. 

  2. On the other side arrange the sliced-folded garlic sausage, salami and prosciutto, emmental cheese, hard boiled eggs and pickled beetroot on the side with the caprese skewers. 

  3. Drizzle salad with olive oil, balsamic glaze or your favourite salad  dressing. 

  4. Enjoy!
