Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 small fresh mozzarella balls (Ciliegine), drained

  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 32 round cherry tomatoes
  • 32 small fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic reduction (purchased or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Dry the mozzarella and toss in bowl with the olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and kosher salt.
  2. Thread each skewer as follows: cherry tomato, basil leaf (folded in half), mozzarella ball, basil leaf, cherry tomato. Place all skewers on a platter and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
