Serving Suggestions

Note

• Bocconcini is available as baby, cherry or even ‘pearl’. Choose one that’s similar in size to your cherry tomatoes.
• Whilst delicious on their own, a pesto dipping sauce would be a lovely accompaniment.
• Get the kids involved in making these. They’re easy and fun to put together.
