• If your mozzarella is not pre-sliced, then slice into 1/4 inch slices
• On the bottom half of your serving platter, arrange larger mozzarella slices into a layered circle
• Leaving a two inch gap, arrange the smaller in diameter mozzarella slices into a smaller circle for the face (If you can't find smaller mozzarella slices, that's ok. It will look just fine.)
• Using the basil make a scarf for the snowman. I made my scarf split off into two lines going down the left side of my snowman
• Stack tomatoes up in a domed shape until they are level with the mozzarella.
• Cut 3 tomatoes in half
• Use the half slices to layer the hat. You'll put two side by side overlapping the head
• Place two more halved directly about those
• Add the last one centered over the top two tomato halves
• Cut three rectangle pieces of mozzarella to lay across the bottom half-tomatoes as a hat decoration. It kind of breaks the hat up and adds a little design
• Stack more tomatoes level with the others at the top center of the hat
• Place an end piece of tomato with the skin facing up on top of that section, for the little pom-pom
• Add olive slices to the face for eyes and a smiling mouth (The ends of the olives make better eyes, because the holes are smaller and look like buttons)
• Add three more olive slices to the belly
• Shape a carrot nose from the outside of the tomato

Suggested

• The mozzarella might outnumber the tomatoes and basil, so set a bowl of tomato slices and fresh basil nearby for guests to pull from
• Serve with Balsamic Glaze and olive oil
