1 pint cherry tomatoes

8 oz fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

Fresh basil leaves (about 20 leaves)

2 tablespoons balsamic glaze

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

20 skewers or toothpicks

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Rinse the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean towel. If the mozzarella balls are in water, drain them and allow them to dry slightly.

    Assemble the Skewers: Take a skewer or toothpick and slide on one cherry tomato, followed by a basil leaf, then a mozzarella ball, and finish with another basil leaf and cherry tomato. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used, creating approximately 10 skewers.

      Season the Skewers: Arrange the assembled skewers on a serving plate. Drizzle them with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic glaze for added flavor. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

        Chill (optional): For a refreshing touch, cover the plate with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before serving.

          Serve: Present the mini Caprese salad skewers as a delightful appetizer at your gathering. Enjoy!
