Ingredients
For the Bites
- 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes (Buy firm ones to avoid mushiness.)
- 20 pieces Mini mozzarella balls (Burrata can be used for extra creaminess.)
- 1 large Cucumber (Cut into pieces shaped like tulip leaves.)
- 20 leaves Fresh basil leaves (Pick small leaves for best results.)
- 20 pieces Toothpicks (Use sturdy ones to prevent snapping.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Cut the cucumber into small pieces and shape them like tulip leaves.
- On each toothpick, stack a cherry tomato, a mini mozzarella ball, and a basil leaf to resemble a flower.
- Secure the cucumber pieces at the base of each toothpick to mimic leaves.
- Serve them on a platter for a colorful presentation.
Notes
Serve cold or at cool room temperature. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with flaky salt right before serving for enhanced flavor. Store in the fridge in a single layer, using parchment to separate layers if stacked.
