HOW TO MAKE A CAPRESE WREATH APPETIZER

Here’s the step-by-step recipe…

**Step 1 –** Place a small glass in the center of your large circular platter and fill it with toothpicks.

**Step 2 –** Add a layer of spinach in a circle around the toothpicks, then scatter the grape or cherry tomatoes on top.

**Step 3 –** Add the mozzarella pearls, distributing them throughout the wreath. I like to move a few tomatoes to the top so more red peaks through the wreath.

**Step 4 –** Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze over the top just before serving.

Step 5 – Finish by topping with fresh basil leaves for a fragrant and festive touch.

De-licious!

MAKE-AHEAD TIP

Fresh basil doesn’t hold up well in the fridge, so add it just before serving along with the balsamic drizzle for the best presentation.
