Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by rinsing the cherry tomatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Set aside. Next, wash the fresh basil leaves and gently pat them dry.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Skewers

    Take a toothpick and begin assembling your appetizer by skewering one cherry tomato, followed by a fresh mozzarella ball, and then a basil leaf. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used. Aim for about 10 skewers.

  3. 3

    Drizzle with Dressing

    Once all the skewers are assembled, arrange them neatly on a serving platter. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic glaze over the skewers. Sprinkle salt and black pepper on top to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Your Caprese skewers are now ready to be served. Enjoy them immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
