Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Halloween Salad
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place one mozzarella ball into each skull mold, ensuring they are tightly packed for defined shapes. Bake for about 6 minutes, until soft but not fully melted. Carefully press the mozzarella into the molds, then chill in the fridge for 10-15 minutes until firm.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine mixed salad greens. Drizzle with olive oil and, if desired, squeeze fresh lemon juice. Toss gently to coat the greens evenly.
  3. Add halved cherry tomatoes to the salad base. Carefully place the mozzarella skulls on top, followed by a sprinkle of black pepper and flaky sea salt. Add thinly sliced basil.
  4. Drizzle additional olive oil and balsamic glaze over the salad. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.
