What is Caprese?
Caprese salad is an Italian dish that's made of tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and seasoned with salt and olive oil. This appetizer is a fun twist on the traditional caprese salad and takes the salad and makes it into a cute bite size form.
Ingredients
To make this recipe you'll need
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Mini Mozzarella Balls
- Fresh Basil
- Toothpicks
- Balsamic Glaze
How to Make
- Take a toothpick and put 1 cherry tomato, followed by a piece of basil, and then a mozzarella pearl
- Once all are assembled and you're ready to serve, drizzle with either Balsamic Vinegar or Balsamic Glaze.
Recipe Tips and Variations
- Balsamic glaze can be served either drizzled on top of the skewers or served as a dip on the side.
- If you can't find balsamic glaze, you can also use balsamic vinegar.
- This recipe is great to be made ahead! If you're making ahead, make the caprese skewers first and refrigerate in an airtight container. When you're ready to serve drizzle the balsamic glaze. Caprese bites can be made up to a day in advance.
How to Store Leftovers
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. If you haven't drizzled with balsamic they might last a little longer, but I found they get a little soggy after 2-3 days.
