A really yummy appetizer for a holiday gathering this year was a tomato/mozzarella Christmas tree!
It's sprinkled with balsamic vinegar right before serving.
Honestly, I wondered if it looked like a Christmas tree since that was my intent.
Most people said it did and gobbled it up!
Tomato/mozzarella/basil salad is usually made in the summer when tomatoes are plentiful.
However, this worked with smaller tomatoes, too.
I had a heck of a time finding fresh basil and went to two different supermarkets before finding it! Yippah. A mini-Christmas miracle!
A precious niece hosted Christmas Eve dinner and everything she made was luscious.
It made my heart merry to know people like the tomato/cheese "tree" appetizer, too.
DO YOU MAKE THIS SALAD?

What a delightful way to abstain from sugar and indulge in yummy veggies and cheese. It looks like a tree!
It looks like a tree for sure. I do not care for basil or cheese so I would rather have a regular salad but good for you making something healthy for the party.
It looks like a delicious tree to me!!!!!!!!!!!
Often, tomato and basil always good together.

That looks delicious! I really love caprese. I make little snack jars of it. Chop up a tomato, slice some fresh basil, cut up a mozzarella stick, throw in a couple green olives, and top it all off with a bit of balsamic. They stay fresh in the frig for about 5 days, so I make up several at a time.
