cute and tasty ladybird salad bites.
These bite-sized morsels are as delicious as they are cute,
and are bound to be the talk of any dinner party!

What you’ll need:

How to make them:
1. Cut the bocconcini into three even slices, lengthways,
and place on wooden board.

3. Halve the cherry tomatoes and then make a slit almost
half way through, as per pictures. Place one cherry
tomato half on top of each basil leaf.
4. Halve the olives and then halve them again, as per the
pictures. Place a ‘beetle head’ on each basil leaf as
shown.
5. Using a wooden skewer / chopstick dot three to four
drops of balsamic glaze on the cherry tomatoes, as
shown in the picture.
