Caprese Salad on a Stick with Balsamic Glaze
Prep Time
10 mins
 

Take the classic appetizer and turn it into a hand held snack on the go

Course: Snack
Servings: 16 Salads
Ingredients
  • 16 Large Cherry Tomaotes ideally get heirloom at their peak
  • 8 Ounces Mozzarella Balls
  • 16 Large Basil Leaves
  • 1 teaspoon Balsamic Glaze
  • 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil best quality
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions

  1. Wash and dry cherry tomatoes and basil leaves.

  2. Drizzle balsamic glaze on serving platter or if taking on the go then drizzle the balsamic glaze over the assembled “sticks” in the to go container.
  3. Assemble “sticks” in any way you see fit. In the above picture with the reddish heirloom cherry tomatoes, I speared the tomato through the root end, then one end of a basil leaf, then the mozzarella ball and finally the other end of the basil leaf.
  4. You can also slice the cherry tomato and the mozzarella ball in half, like I did with the yellow cherry tomatoes. Spear the end of a basil leaf, then one half of the tomato and the mozzarella ball to form one full circle, then the other end of the basil leaf.
  5. Sprinkle some kosher salt and then drizzle the balsamic glaze either on the serving platter or over the caprese stick.
