Caprese Christmas Wreath

This is the prettiest savory wreath on the table! 🎄🍅 My Caprese Christmas Wreath is just tomato, fresh mozzarella and basil, arranged in a ring so it looks like a holiday wreath.

You layer the tomato and mozzarella slices around a round platter with a basil leaf between each one, tuck in cherry tomatoes and rosemary sprigs, then drizzle it with olive oil and balsamic glaze and finish it with flaky salt and pepper.

There’s no cooking at all, and it looks like you spent hours on it.

How to Make It

On a round platter, arrange the tomato and mozzarella slices in an overlapping ring, tucking a basil leaf between each slice. Fill in around the center edge with cherry tomatoes and rosemary sprigs so it looks like a wreath. Drizzle it with the olive oil and balsamic glaze, finish with flaky salt and pepper, and serve it right away.

Tips for the Best Caprese Christmas Wreath

• Use a round platter. It helps the ring keep its wreath shape.
• Overlap the slices. Alternate tomato and mozzarella in an overlapping ring.
• Basil in between. Tuck a basil leaf between each slice.
• Rosemary for the greenery. The rosemary sprigs are what make it look like a wreath.
• Serve it right away. Drizzle and season just before serving.
