Entertaining doesn't get any easier than these fuss-free Olive Caprese Skewers. Briny olives and fresh Caprese ingredients are a delicious combination.
These skewers turn a classic Caprese salad or Burrata Caprese into a delicious handheld appetizer. They're easy to make and fun to eat.
There's no chopping, cooking, or mixing-just a few ingredients woven on skewers and topped with a flavorful drizzle.
Pair these with marinated olives, olive tapenade, cucumber canapés, and this goat cheese and fig jam appetizer for a delicious antipasto spread.
Ingredients
- Tomatoes - Cherry or grape tomatoes work best. Use assorted colors if desired.
- Fresh mozzarella - Look for cherry-sized fresh mozzarella balls called Ciliegine. Both plain and marinated mozzarella can be used.
- Olives - I love black and Castelvetrano olives, but feel free to use any variety you prefer.
Instructions
See the recipe card for complete instructions and ingredient amounts.
These skewers are as easy as threading the ingredients on them. To create the skewers as pictured, start with an olive, add tomato, basil, cheese, and basil, and finish with another olive.
Arrange on a platter and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
