The Merry Wreath Salad
A Christmas salad that's almost too good to eat! This festive wreath combines sweet summer peaches, salty prosciutto and creamy torn burrata, finished with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. It's fresh, full of flavour and makes a beautiful addition to any Christmas table. Best of all, there's no cooking required!
Ingredients:
- 1 large bag mixed salad leaves (approx. 300g)
- 1 punnet mixed tomato medley (approx. 250g), halved
- 10 slices prosciutto
- 2 ripe peaches, sliced into wedges
- 1 ball burrata (approx. 150g)
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves
- 1-2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1-2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- Salt and cracked black pepper, to taste
Method:
- Place a small bowl upside down in the centre of a large circular serving platter or wooden chopping board. This will help create the perfect wreath shape.
- Arrange the mixed salad leaves generously around the bowl, building them up to create a full, circular wreath.
- Scatter the halved tomato medley evenly around the leaves, adding plenty of colour.
- Gently fold and twist the prosciutto slices into loose ribbons, then tuck them around the wreath.
- Arrange the peach wedges evenly throughout, alternating with the tomatoes and prosciutto.
- Gently tear open the burrata and break it into pieces, placing them around the wreath so the creamy centre is distributed throughout.
- Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top, then drizzle generously with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze.
- Season with salt and cracked black pepper, then carefully remove the bowl from the centre to reveal your Christmas wreath.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
