Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all the salad ingredients by cutting them into bite-sized pieces. For the persimmon, boiled sweet potato, and apple, you can peel them or leave the skin on. Remove any seeds and dice them into approximately 1 to 1.5 cm cubes. Slice the banana into similar-sized pieces. If using cherry tomatoes, halve them; if using a regular tomato, dice it. Peel the hard-boiled egg and cut it into quarters or dice it. Cutting all ingredients into uniform shapes of varying colors will make the salad look neat and appealing.
Step 2
Now, let’s make the delicious ranch dressing! In a small bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 1 container of plain yogurt, 0.5 tablespoon of vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Add a pinch of black pepper and a pinch of salt to season. Whisk everything together with a whisk or fork until smooth and well combined. Your creamy ranch dressing is ready! You can add a little sugar to taste if you prefer.
Step 3
Choose a beautiful serving plate. Begin arranging the chopped ingredients on the plate to form a Christmas tree shape. Create a point at the top and a wider base, gradually narrowing as you build upwards. Layering the ingredients in a triangular formation will naturally create a tree silhouette. Arranging ingredients by color will make the salad even more appetizing.
Step 4
This is the final step to complete the tree! Take the sliced cheddar cheese and cut it into small star shapes to place on top of the tree, or cut it into strips to resemble a tree trunk. Dot fresh mint leaves around the salad to add a vibrant green color and resemble tree ornaments. You can also use other herbs like parsley or rosemary for decoration.
Step 5
Finally, serve the Christmas tree cobb salad with the ranch dressing on the side. You can drizzle the dressing over the salad or serve it in a separate bowl for dipping. Your festive and adorable Christmas tree cobb salad is complete! Enjoy this beautiful and tasty salad with your loved ones on a special occasion.
