festive caprese salad wreath

This festive caprese salad wreath is so fun to bring to holiday gatherings! It’s easy to make and absolutely delicious with robust Italian seasoning and a sweet balsamic glaze.

Caprese salad is one of my favorites (try my caprese salad with homemade croutons which is another good time!).

I love this for the holidays because it brings a lighter, more summer-y dish to the the table when so much of the food I’m eating is heavy!

how to make a caprese salad wreath

To make the “wreath” you can use a dinner plate or serving platter. Lay fresh basil on the bottom of the plate. I put the pointed end of the basil leaves toward the outside of the plate so they would look more like a wreath. I also included some rosemary to dial up the flave!

In the center you’ll want to place a small round bowl for the balsamic reduction sauce to be poured into and this also forms the center of the wreath.

glaze & season the caprese salad wreath

The balsamic glaze is very easy to make (2 ingredients!) or you can purchase balsamic glaze at the store and use that. I used Swerve brown to keep carbs lower but you can sub brown sugar or coconut sugar.

Once the basil and rosemary is laid out, add the washed tomatoes (grape or cherry) and mozzarella balls. Make sure you put tooth picks around for people to easily grab this deliciousness!

Next drizzle the olive oil. If you really want to take it up a notch, replace the olive oil with my herb-infused olive oil! Finally, sprinkle the herbs and, if you like, grate some fresh parmesan.

You are all ready to party!

Pair this salad with some of our other holiday treats: peppermint fudge brownies with chocolate ganache, best keto chocolate chip cookies or cranberry, rosemary, cinnamon sparklers!
