(Valentine) Caprese Skewers
Going to a Super Bowl party, book club or family gathering in the month of February? Valentine Caprese Skewers are such a fun, love themed appetizer to bring to parties. And they are super quick and easy to make!
Equipment
- 12 6" wooden skewers
Ingredients
- 8 oz mozzarella balls ciliegine "cherry" size
- 10 oz grape tomatoes
- 2 T Italian dressing
- basil 3-4 leaves cut inti thin "ribbon" strips
Instructions
- Drain the liquid from mozzarella balls. Place them in a bowl and pour 1T of the Italian dressing over top of the cheese. Give it a good stir and set aside to marinade for a few minutes.
- Cut the grape tomato on a diagonal. Then twist one half 180 degrees so that both tips meet at the bottom forming a heart shape.
- Slide both halves of the tomato onto the wooden skewer to keep the heart together.
- Build the caprese skewers by adding the marinated mozzarella. I like to alternate three tomato hearts and two mozzarella balls per skewer.
- Once all of the skewers are built, drizzle remining 1T of Italian dressings over the top.
- Slice fresh basil leaves into thin "ribbons" and sprinkle over the top of the skewers before serving.
