Caprese Bites

Caprese Bites

This is one of my favorite go to appetizers.

You can’t beat fresh tomatoes and basil, both freshly plucked from your garden.

Well the fresh mozzarella didn’t come from there, but it is still fresh.

I am trying as I may, to squeeze out the last bit of summer goodness that I can.

I am trying before the cold winds of autumn begin to approach.

Join us, all day today as we share our delicious, mouth-watering recipes! Here’s what everyone is bringing to our #SundaySupper table. Be sure to stay after dinner at 7pm EST as we share our recipes during our #SundaySupper live chat!

32 Fresh Mozzarella Boconcini

32 Cherry Tomatoes

32 Large basil leaves

2 tablespoons Olive Oil

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Thread the mozzarella, tomatoes and basil leaves on wooden skewers. Drizzle Extra Virgin Olive Oil over top. Season with salt and pepper. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Such a nice appetizer for entertaining, well, that is, if I would share them. I think I could eat the whole platter. I love caprese salad. I could see a little side dipping of balsamic vinegar too.
