Caprese Skewers with Olives

Turn classic Caprese salad into a delicious hand-held appetizer with these skewers. Easy to make and fun to eat.

There's no chopping, no cooking, no mixing. Just a few ingredients woven on skewers and topped with a flavorful drizzle.

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 you can use any variety you love.

Instructions

See the recipe card for complete instructions and ingredient amounts.

These skewers are as easy as threading the ingredients on the skewers. To create the skewers as pictured, start with an olive and add tomato, basil, cheese, basil, and finish with another olive.

Arrange on a platter and drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze.
