Round veggie ‘cards’ on a platter, an edible tribute to the Pokémon collection.
This festive side dish nods to the famous Pokémon cards: round, colorful slices of vegetables and mozzarella form a ‘card set’ on a platter. Each card is a mini caprese variant, with basil as the ‘card sleeve’. Perfect for sharing and celebrating hidden treasures found in the attic.
Ingredients
- 2 large yellow tomatoes
- 2 large red tomatoes
- 2 balls buffalo mozzarella
- 1 cucumber
- 12 large basil leaves
- 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp balsamic glaze
- salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Cut the tomatoes and mozzarella into thick slices.
- Slice the cucumber into thin round slices.
- On a large platter, alternate tomato, mozzarella, and cucumber slices in a row to resemble a card collection.
- Place a basil leaf on each ‘card’ as a ‘card sleeve’.
- Drizzle everything with olive oil, balsamic glaze, salt, and pepper.
Serving notes
- Serve on a long platter so the card row is clearly visible.
- Provide tongs or a spoon for easy sharing.
