Equipment

  • 8 skewers

Ingredients

  • 24 whole grape or cherry tomatoes (homegrown or organic, if possible)
  • 16 whole fresh basil leaves small leaves or large - see notes
  • 8 oz container of fresh mozzarella balls (mini- preferably ciliegini)
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (to drizzle on top, use top quality oil)
  • ⅛ tsp sea salt (fine)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Begin skewering the ingredients in the following order: tomato-basil-mozzarella-basil-tomato-basil-mozzarella-basil-tomato
  • Repeat to finish the ingredients that you have (make as many or few as you need).

Notes

  • These can be made ahead, but tomatoes shouldn't be refrigerated and the cheese should be, so don't make them too far in advance.
  • Dried basil will not do in this recipe. Larger basil leaves can be torn in half.
