- Sliced Salami
- Sliced Garlic Sausage
- Sliced Prosciutto/Ham
- Pickled Beetroot
- Marinated Artichokes
- Emmental (Cheese cut into sticks)

- 1 Large Orange Bell Pepper (sliced and roughly chopped)
- 12 Cherry Tomatoes (cut into segments)
- 1 Large Cucumber (peeled, sliced and halved)
- 6 Radish (sliced)
- Small Can of Sweetcorn
- 6 Hard Boiled Eggs (halved)
- Caprese Skewers (Mozzarella balls with cherry tomatoes and fresh basil)
- 12 Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
- ¼ Cup Olive Oil
- ½ Tsp Oregano
- 1 Clove Garlic (sliced)
- 24 Fresh Basil Leaves
- Salt and Pepper
- 12 Toothpicks
In a bowl, mix the olive oil, oregano and garlic together. Add the mozzarella balls and marinate for at least 1 hour.
Thread half a cherry tomato on a tooth pick followed by a fresh basil leaf, mozzarella ball, basil leaf and cherry tomato.
Discard the garlic slices and drizzle the marinade over the skewers. Season with salt and pepper.
These are also lovely to serve as a mini appetizer with a drizzle of balsamic glaze!
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.
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.
Drizzle salad with olive oil, balsamic glaze or your favourite salad dressing.
Enjoy!
