Caprese skewers made with cherry tomatoes, basil and baby mozzarella balls are the perfect party appetizer. Your guests will love this recipe!

Ingreadient

    • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (smaller tomatoes are preferable)
    • 1 medium ripe peach (totally optional), pitted and sliced into small, bite-sized pieces no larger than your tomatoes
    • 8 ounces ciliegine (mini mozzarella balls)
    • 1 small bunch of basil (smaller basil leaves are preferable, you’ll need between 22 to 44 leaves total)
    • 22 small (4 to 6-inch) skewers (I used these)

    Balsamic dipping sauce

    • ¼ cup olive oil
    • 1 ½ tablespoons balsamic vinegar
    • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    • 2 teaspoon maple syrup or honey
    • Pinch salt
    • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Direction

    1. Onto each skewer, thread the following in alternating patterns: one cherry tomato, one ciliegine, one to two leaves of basil and a slice of peach or an additional tomato.
    2. To prepare the sauce, simply whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl until emulsified. Serve skewers on plates or a platter with sauce nearby.
