Directions

Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Rinse the cherry tomatoes and basil leaves under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.

Assemble the Skewers
Take a skewer and thread a fresh mozzarella ball onto it. Follow this with a cherry tomato, then a basil leaf. Repeat this process until you've added 2 mozzarella balls, 2 cherry tomatoes, and 2 basil leaves, leaving some space at the end of the skewer for handling.

Season the Skewers

Serve with Pesto
Arrange the skewers on a serving platter. Drizzle the pesto sauce over them or serve it in a small bowl on the side for dipping. Optionally, garnish with additional basil leaves.
