Caprese Salad Skewers

Caprese Salad Skewers are such a pretty appetizer to make. They are also incredible easy to make and they have a ton of delicious, fresh flavor!

We had a great Easter, hanging with family and eating yummy food all day. We started at Grandma’s having bagels with lachs (salmon), fruit, ham, blintz (baked crepes), cheese bread, and mimosas! Then we headed back home to make caprese skewers to bring to our Aunt’s and Uncle’s house. I figured something light and fresh would be a good appetizer given the amount of food we had already enjoyed that day and still had yet to eat. 😉

Caprese Salad Skewers

 Ingredients

• Cherry tomatoes
• Mozzarella balls
• Fresh Basil
• Olive Oil
• 1 cup balsamic vinegar
• salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Assemble, tomatoes, basil (roll from one end to the other), and mozzarella balls on medium-sized toothpicks. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
2. To make balsamic glaze, add one cup of balsamic vinegar to a sauce pan over medium heat. Once it comes to a boil, set on simmer for about 10-15 minutes until it reduces to a syrup consistency. You can check by dipping a spoon in the balsamic and if it covers the back of it, it's done. As it cools, it will thicken a bit more then drizzle on top of caprese salad skewers.
