Caprese salad is perhaps one of the best appetizers/first course meals you can have. This dish is a perfect example of how simple is often best.
The caprese salad brings together three very simple ingredients (a fourth being extra virgin olive oil used from time to time). You take fresh mozzarella, ripe sweet tomatoes, and basil put them together and then take bites of all three ingredients.
The one bite caprese appetizers could not be more perfect as a simple appetizer your friends and family can enjoy during a get together.
Ingredients
- 1 Container fresh mozzarella balls (mini fresh mozzarella balls are best if you can find them)
- 1 Small container cherry tomatoes
- 1 bunch fresh basil
- 1 pack of wooden toothpicks
Directions
- Skewer a cherry tomato with the toothpick, then puncture a basil leaf, lastly skewer one of the mozzarella balls.
- (Optional: Place your caprese bites on a platter once assembled, lightly drizzle good olive oil).
