Mini Italian Tomato Salad Canapés

These little bites will remind you of a classic Italian mozzarella, tomato and basil salad - very refreshing and super simple to make! These formed the 'red' layer of our canapé rainbow - see it here.

Ingredients:
Cherry tomatoes - ideally nice ripe ones
Mozzarella
Handful of fresh basil leaves or a living basil plant
Olive oil
Balsamic vinegar
Black pepper

How to:

1) Cut your cherry tomatoes in half (horizontally rather than vertically - this way they will stand upright). Place them on a plate and drizzle over some olive oil and balsamic vinegar, followed by a sprinkling of freshly milled black pepper.

2) Snip off some bite-sized bits of mozzarella with a pair of scissors.

3) Use a cocktail stick to skewer together your tomato, mozzarella and a basil leaf before arranging them on your favourite platter.
