CHRISTMAS TREE SALAD

Step 1: Make the Wild Rocket Pesto Dressing 

1. In a food processor, combine the LeaderBrand Wild Rocket, Parmesan, pine nuts, and garlic. Process until finely chopped, scraping down the sides as needed. 

2. With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil in a thin, steady stream until the mixture is smooth and combined. Add more oil if the pesto is too thick. 

Step 2: Prepare the Capsicum Garnish 

1. Use a star-shaped pastry cutter to cut a star from the capsicum. 

2. Cut a rectangle from the remaining capsicum to form the base of the tree. 

Step 3: Assemble the Salad 

1. Cut the LeaderBrand Iceberg Lettuce into quarters. Remove the larger outer leaves and arrange them on a large serving platter as the base layer. Build the salad upwards with smaller leaves to create a full, tree-like shape. Add the capsicum star at the top and the rectangle at the base to complete the design. 

2. Drizzle the wild rocket pesto over the salad.  

Step 4: Add Toppings and Serve 

1. Scatter the bocconcini and cherry tomatoes over the lettuce leaves. 

2. Serve the extra dressing on the side. 

3. Garnish with LeaderBrand Wild Rocket leaves. 

4. Season with salt and pepper. Best served immediately.
