Caprese skewers are the perfect party food for any occasion. You can't go wrong with tiny tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella balls  - it's a salad on a stick!  They're so easy to make and fun to eat, you'll be looking for reasons to make them.  Why wait for a party?  They're a perfect treat to keep the family happy while dinner's on its way.

Ingredients

All you need are some tiny tomatoes, fresh basil, and little mozzarella balls and fresh basil.  If you can't find the little ones, just chop up what you have into bite sized pieces!
If you're feeling fancy, you can add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and/or balsamic vinegar at the end.

Preparation

Rinse your tomatoes really well.  I also like to rinse and salt the mozzarella, but that's entirely up to you.
Clean your basil, and trim the leaves if necessary.

Put It on a Stick!

Get yourself some fancy toothpicks and start assembling.
There's no wrong way to skewer your caprese, so go wild!  It's great to get kids and party guests involved too.  Everyone has a great time with caprese skewers!
