Lady Bug Caprese Salad
cherry tomatoes, black olives, basil leaves, and mozzarella
and the dots.... are spots of thick balsamic vinegar!
This is such a fun idea ... you really must give it a try. Loved by adults and children alike!

There is really no recipe... this is an assembly. Sort of what you see is what you need. Mozzarella sliced, basil leaf (you can split the stem to look like antennae), cherry tomato sliced halfway up and spread a bit to make the wings, lay an olive to make the head. The olive can be put on two ways... either you slice a tad off the cherry tomato's "neck" and then scoop out a bit... then lay the olive into the slight cavity, or... you can slice the olive in half (lengthwise) and just sort of suction-cup it to the tomato.... you might even poke a hole in the olive and 'shove' the basil stem through, then split it to make antennae. Done.

I couldn't resist sharing this photograph from a few years ago

Don't you just love them … yes I do!

These are the cutest! I great way to get kids to eat something healthy too. Your grandkids are adorable. I love seeing children enjoying nature.

I don't know which is cuter. The salad (love those lady bugs-what a great idea) or your grandkids. That is a great photo also.

Truly adorable. I often make and love Caprese salad, but what fun to up the game a bit. Thanks for the sharing.
Ohhh what a cut and fun idea! I think I will make these for my next bead meeting. The girls will love it. Thanks for sharing this. Your grandkids are beautiful.
SO fun. I will have to try this one day when my granddaughters are over.
LOVE THIS IDEA!!!!
THANK YOU JAN~
What a great way to get the kids involved in preparing healthy meals!
And your grandchildren - what cuties! Lovely photograph:)
very nice, I love the idea. We are actually one of the few cultures who don't have insects in our diet.
This is almost too cute to eat! I don't eat dairy/cheese, but I'd sure make this for others.
Both the lady bugs and your grandchildren are adorable. I think these would be great to take to a pot luck meal.
Wow, lovely!

One of the cutest things ever! It would be perfect for a tea or special spring fling appetizer. A little time consuming but the wow factor would be worth it!

Hello Jan,:=)
Ha ha!! Many thanks for leaving the link for this Ladybird salad. I thought, Ladybird salad could not possibly be, but it can, and it looks delightful. It's also so easy to make, and such a clever way of presenting the tomatoes and olives.
Lovely picture of your grandchildren, they look totally absorbed in their find.
I am definitely sharing this post with my daughter and friends.
