Insalata Caprese is a simply prepared Italian salad made from vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and olive oil. We've taken similar ingredients and threaded them onto wooden skewers to create these bursting-with-flavor handheld appetizers. Ingredients:
30 grape or cherry tomatoes |
30 fresh basil leaves |
4 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, cut into 30 (1/2-inch) cubes |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Thread tomatoes, basil leaves, and mozzarella cheese cubes alternately onto 10 (6-inch) wooden skewers. Place skewers on a serving platter.
2. Combine vinegar and oil in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Drizzle vinegar mixture evenly over skewers, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or cover and chill until ready to serve.
