These Caprese skewers have the components of traditional Caprese salad, but are transformed into an easy, delicious, and pretty appetizer!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon cracked red pepper flakes
  • 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 12 mozzarella balls (Ciliegine) (, drained and patted dry)
  • 24 small cherry tomatoes
  • 24 small fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup balsamic glaze ((see note))
  • 12 (4-inch) party skewers

Directions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, Italian seasoning, cracked red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and salt. Add in the mozzarella balls and gently toss to coat. (For best flavor, let these marinate in the fridge overnight before assembly.)

  2. 2

    Assemble the skewers in this order: thread a cherry tomato, folded basil leaf, marinated mozzarella ball, another fold basil leaf, and another cherry tomato. Place on a serving platter.

    Drizzle skewers with a little balsamic glaze.

    Serve and enjoy!
