  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 29 minute

Ingredients

– 1 pint cherry tomatoes
– 8 ounces fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini)

– Olive oil (for drizzling)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Wooden skewers or toothpicks


Instructions

Creating Caprese Salad on a Stick is straightforward and easy to follow. Here’s how to put it all together:

1. Prepare Skewers: Gather your wooden skewers or toothpicks. If using bamboo skewers, consider cutting them in half for bite-sized portions.
2. Wash Ingredients: Rinse the cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves under cold water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
3. Assemble Skewers: Thread one cherry tomato onto the skewer, followed by a fresh basil leaf and a mozzarella ball. Repeat the process, alternating until the skewer is filled. Aim for about 3-4 sets of tomato-basil-mozzarella on each stick.
4. Season: Once all the skewers are assembled, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the skewers to enhance flavor.
5. Add Balsamic Glaze: For added richness, drizzle balsamic glaze over the skewers before serving. This can elevate the flavors and provide a beautiful presentation.
6. Serve: Arrange the Caprese Salad on a Stick on a serving platter. You can garnish with extra basil leaves for an inviting look.

These easy steps will guide you in creating this delightful appetizer that everyone will love!
