Christmas Wreath Caprese Salad Recipe

Recipe: Wreath Caprese Salad Recipe »

Christmas Dinner

Every year at Christmas I seem to end up making something in a wreath shape - not deliberately, but when I stop and think about it there's always a ring on the table. This year I borrowed the idea from my friend Rebecca at the Intolerant Chef: a Caprese wreath. It's the perfect way to turn a simple, delicious salad of mozzarella, tomatoes and basil into something festive and a little Italian - and you know how much I love a theme.
