Ingredients

  • 1 Pint of Grape or Cherry Tomatoes
  • 1 8 oz. Ball of Fresh Mozzarella or Container of Bocconcini
  • 1 .75 oz. Package of Basil
  • Your Favorite Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • Good Quality Balsamic Vinegar
  • Toothpicks for assembling the Caprese Skewers.

Instructions

  • Cut tomatoes crosswise in half
  • Dice ball of mozzarella into cubes around the same size as the tomatoes.
  • Tear basil leaves into pieces slightly larger than the tomatoes and mozzarella.
  • Thread the ingredients onto the skewer. I like the following order.
  • Tomato half on the bottom which allows your caprese salad skewer to stand.
  • Mozzarella next.
  • Basil on top of the mozzarella to help catch some of the oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • Tomato half on top.
  • As you finish assembling the skewers, stand them up on the platter or plate you’re serving them from.
  • Drizzle the caprese salad skewers with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
