Salad on a Stick
During a recent visit to a friend’s house, I stumbled upon a simple, easy and more importantly, yummy appetizer. I am a huge fan of caprese salad and anything dipped in balsamic vinegar so this recipe was just perfect! Let me introduce the caprese salad skewer. Salads are near impossible to serve as a party appetizer, but salad on a stick?! That is genius! Using skewers was super fun and really easy to clean-up. I was such a fan of this appetizer that I recreated it over the Easter holiday, the caprese skewers were the hit of the party, a simple and colorful appetizer. Try it!
<strong>Ingredients:</strong>
Cherry Tomatoes
Fresh Mozzarella Balls (small, roughly the same size as the Cherry Tomatoes)
Olive Oil (we used blood orange olive oil, but any style will due)
Fresh Basil
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt and Pepper
Pitted Black Olives
Skewers or Long Toothpicks
1. Drizzle serving plate with olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
2. Chop/Tear up the Basil into bite sized pieces
3. Skewer tomato, mozzarella, olive and piece of basil. Repeat

Voila, Caprese Skewers!
