MOZZARELLA PREPARATION

Place the mini mozzarella balls into a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 15 seconds at a time until they are soft to the touch and lightly melted (45 seconds for me). NOTE: The cooking time will depend on the size of the mozzarella you use.
30 mini mozzarella balls
Remove the bowl from the microwave and drain the water. Take 2 balls of mozzarella at a time and press them down into each well of the skull mold. NOTE: It will release additional liquid, that's normal. Press down a kitchen towel on top to absorb and refrigerate while preparing the salad.

ASSEMBLY

Slice your washed grape tomatoes (I like mine 1/2 sliced lengthwise and 1/2 sliced across). Season with the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and sea salt. Add Fresh Basil and Sage on top. Enjoy your Spooky Skeletons Caprese Salad! "BONE" Appétit & Happy Halloween!
