Instructions

Creating Ladybug Caprese Salad is a delightful experience. Follow these easy steps to make your own:

1. Prepare the Base: Start by thoroughly washing and drying the arugula or spinach. Spread it evenly on a large serving platter.
2. Slice Tomatoes: Take the cherry tomatoes and slice them in half. Set aside the tomatoes with the cut side up, which will form the bodies of the ladybugs.
3. Add the Mozzarella: Place a mozzarella pearl on each cherry tomato half to represent the ladybug’s head.
4. Create the Ladybug: For each ladybug, use a small basil leaf as the wings by placing it behind the tomato. Position the tomatoes so they appear to be sitting on the greens.
5. Add Details: If you like, use black olives to create dots on the ladybugs’ backs. Simply cut the olives into small pieces and arrange them as you wish.
6. Season: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the entire salad to enhance the flavors. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Garnish: Add extra basil leaves around the salad for added color and flavor.
8. Serve: Bring the beautiful Ladybug Caprese Salad to your dining table and watch as your guests marvel at this cheerful dish.
