Caprese Skewers

A caprese salad is light and refreshing.  Putting it on a skewer makes it a fun appetizer or snack!!   Summer is the best time to make the caprese skewers because of the fresh grape or cherry tomatoes you can get from your own garden or your local farmers’ market.  Use good extra virgin Sal y Pimienta avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar to add to the intensity and flavor of the dish.

5 skewers (no need to soak the wood or bamboo ones since they will not be grilled)

20 grape or cherry tomatoes

20 fresh mozzarella balls, if they are larger balls, cut them in half or smaller

20 fresh basil leaves

Sal y Pimienta avocado oil

Balsamic vinegar

Fresh ground pepper

Grab a skewer. Grab a tomato, stick it on the skewer.  Grab a basil leaf, stick it on the skewer.  Grab a mozzarella ball, you guessed it, stick it on the skewer.  Repeat 3 more times ~ T~B ~M /T~B ~M /T~B ~M

Lie skewers on a plate.  Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar plus a few turns of fresh cracked pepper. Pick up and enjoy!!!
