How To Make lady bug caprese salad
-
1Place Mozzarella slices on serving plate, Drizzle with a small amount of extra virgin olive oil (could drizzle on top of basil). Add one basil leaf, with stem split to resemble antennae.
-
2Cut a split "tail', to define "wings" on tomato half. May also need to cut off a thin slice at opposite end, so olive will fit closely.
-
3Add olive head, and add small drops of balsamic reduction, to mimic the spots.
-
4Serve and delight your guests!
