What You’ll Need:
- ½ cup Gotham Greens Basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Gotham Greens Pesto Sauce
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese balls, quartered
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
How to Make It:
- Time to get clean! Wash your hands with soap and water. Then, give your cherry tomatoes a bath! Hold them under cold water and count to 10 together — ready? 1… 2… 3…
- Let the grown-ups help! Ask a grown-up to carefully cut the tomatoes and mozzarella balls into smaller pieces. That way, they’re just the right size for yummy bites!
- Kids, this part is all you! Take the basil leaves and gently tear them into little pieces. It’s like leafy confetti for your salad!
- In a big bowl, add the tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil. Now drizzle a little olive oil on top (ask for help if needed). Grab a spoon and gently mix, mix, mix!
