Insalata Caprese “Side Car” Bento Box
- Feed me…Feed me…FEED ME!!!
I’m “digging up” some bentos from last year’s Halloween and fall season and bringing them back-to-life!
Enjoy!

Here’s my contribution to the Halloween themed bento boxes. Although this is more of a side dish than a true bento box, I’m posting it anyway in honor the holiday tomorrow. A nod to “The Little Shop of Horrors”.
It’s no secret that I love caprese salad and miss the warm days of summer with a bento box filled with buffalo mozzarella, hot house tomatoes and fresh basil. Well, it’s definitely not summer, but the ingredients are the same.
The tomato is hollowed out and stuffed with smaller grape tomatoes. The mozza is under the plant and the basil, well you can see all the basil. This is the cute little Frankenstein bento box which has a nice raised cover and will allow full closure after I tuck the leaves inside. A little container with the olive oil will be placed inside Saba Man’s lunch bag along with his bigger bento box.
Audrey!! Feed ME!!
The resemblance is uncanny, and I applaud your choice in musicals! I can sometimes be found belting out “Suddenly Seymour”, ahem.
Lovely Halloween treat box. Happy Halloweeeeen!!
That is too cute to eat. It is a bento work of genius!

That is too cute. Not often I run across a guilt free Halloween themed recipe. Love it!
Whether is bento box or side dish … you just always did a great job!!
Thank you everyone! I’m glad you liked my interpretation of Audrey Jr. Whew… another Halloween comes to an end. Back to “normal” bento boxes for a little while.
Great! Fun concept and excellent execution.
This is way beyond cool.. Oh my gosh, definitely going to show the 5yo tonight! So very Little Shop of Horrors!
Thank you Chantale!
