Servings – 4 Prep Time – 20 Minutes Cook Time – 30 Minutes

Ingredients:

• Cherry or grape tomatoes

• Mozzarella balls, or square chunks

• Fresh Basil

• Olive Oil

• 1 cup balsamic vinegar*

• salt and pepper

Directions:

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.

*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.

Notes:

You can also make a larger version but using tomatoes on the vine, fresh mozzarella balls from the deli section of your local supermarket, and fresh basil. Slicing tomatoes and mozzarella into 1/2" thick slices. Place in layering rotation, tomato, basil leaf, and mozzarella slice. Swirl olive oil and balsamic glaze over the top, sprinkle with salt and pepper.
