Last summer, I threw a big Baby Shower bash for my sister & brother in laws. We chose to make a beautiful heirloom caprese salad, but for the large crowd I developed this easier idea for a party. I will say that it wasn't as good as if I had used pretty heirlooms, but it was a hit and great finger food for the party. Ingredients:
1 cup grape tomatoes, washed |
8 ounces of fresh bocconcini, little mzzarella balls |
1 cup basil leaves, washed, stemmed, and dried |
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar |
1/4 cup olive oil |
salt |
pepper |
12 wooden skewers, about 4-6 inches each |
Directions:
1. Build skewers by gently piercing tomato, cheese, and basil leaf in an alternating fashion.
2. As usual, my measurements above may be slightly off, so make as many or few as you desire.
3. Arrange on a pretty platter with drizzle of the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.
4. Quick Tip: If you don't have the budget for a high quality variety of balsamic vinegar, buy an inexpensive version and reduce in a sauce pan until it thickens into a syrup like consistency. This intensifies the flavor and helps you to get better quality for the money.
