Dietitian's Pick: Tomato, Basil and Bocconcini Wreath

Serves: 14 (3-4 skewers per serve) Time to make: 30 mins


Ingredients

  • 2 x 250g punnets cherry tomatoes

  • 2 bunches basil, leaves picked, plus extra leaves, to garnish

  • 2–3 x 210g tubs cherry bocconcini, well-drained

  • 1/4 cup store-bought gluten-free basil pesto


Instructions

Step 1

Thread 1 cherry tomato onto a toothpick. Fold a basil leaf in half and thread onto same toothpick, followed by 1 bocconcini ball. Repeat with remaining cherry tomatoes, basil and bocconcini to make about 50 skewers.


Step 2

To serve, lay large basil leaves in the shape of a wreath on a large serving platter. Arrange skewers on top of basil leaves and drizzle with the basil pesto. Serve skewers immediately.


Tip

If you are pressed for time, make the skewers a day ahead. Store them in the fridge in an airtight container, then drizzle with pesto before serving.

"When I joined [Transformed], I had been on a waiting list for Bariatric surgery for almost a year and had given up hope on most methods of weight loss.

 

But after signing up and meeting the team I felt so supported that I was willing to try. In 6 months I lost 40kg and have my life back."
