This is a
take on a Caprese salad. It is a one
bite hors d’oeuvres that is great for a summer BBQ appetizer or even nice for a
cocktail party. They are easy to make
(just time consuming) and this recipe makes about 50 “bites”.
Ingredients:
- 1 pt. grape tomatoes
- 20 basil leaves, torn into
small bite size pieces
- 8 oz. fresh mozzarella cheese,
cut into small cubes
- ¼ C. of balsamic vinaigrette
- ½ T. Sea salt
Directions:
- Make the balsamic vinaigrette
and marinate the cheese cubes in the vinaigrette for several hours, if
possible.
- Cut each grape tomato in half.
- Using toothpicks, place a
tomato, a cube of mozzarella, then a piece of basil.
- Sprinkle sea salt over all and drizzle with the leftover vinaigrette.
Tips
and Tricks:
- DO NOT refrigerate the grape
tomatoes. They taste best at room
temperature.
- I can’t leave anything alone,
so I changed this recipe. I made
this with mini pepperonis for added flavor (everyone liked it).
- I made my own balsamic vinaigrette,
but you can use bottled vinaigrette when you are crunched for time.
