Need a great, healthy, finger food appetizer for a dinner party or event. Caprese salad on a toothpick are a perfect choice. They look cute and pretty and they make no mess, but be warned they take a little longer to make than you would think. I sat down at about 11:00pm to make these the night before a party thinking they would take me only about 10 minutes... little did I know, I was still siting there about 45 minutes later. But it turns out it was well worth it because they were a huge hit!
The Recipe:
1 pint of cherry tomatoes
1 12 oz container of fresh mozzarella balls
Fresh basil leaves- if you have your own plant use that! otherwise just one package will be enough
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Toothpicks
Slice the tomatoes in half. Slide one half of the tomato on to the toothpick, followed by a piece of fresh basil, mozzarella ball, and the other half of the tomato. You can finish it off with another piece of basil if you would like to.
Line all of your kababs onto a plate and pour the olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top. Refrigerate up to one night if you are not using it right away. The sooner the better. Enjoy!
