Caprese Salad on a Toothpick

Love this recipe!!!  My neighbor Kim had these had a party and I must have eaten 12 without even thinking.  They are so good.  There is nothing better than finding a great recipe that takes less than 10 minutes to put together and is healthy.  I’ve served these at least six times this summer and everyone is so amazed.  You will be,too.  Just keep this idea in your back pocket for your next get together.  It is a hit for sure.  Hope your summer is going well.  My vacation time is coming to an end as of July 31!

Enjoy this summertime recipe all year-long by using grape tomatoes that are always available.

Caprese Salad from  my neighbor Kim

Ingredients:

• Grape Tomatoes
• Fresh Basil Leaves or Baby Spinach Leaves
• Fresh mozzarella Cheese ( I love using the Mozzarella Pearls)
• Balsamic Glaze
• Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Mix (can purchase a 3.75 oz jar)
• Toothpicks

Directions:

1. Cut mozzarella Cheese in small 1/2 in. chunks or use the cute little pearls.
2. Place basil or spinach leaf on toothpick, then tomato lengthwise, and last Mozzarella Cheese.
3. Mix Balsamic Glaze with ranch dressing seasoning.  For about 20 skewers I used 1/4 cup of glaze and about 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning.  Whisk together.
4. Right before serving drizzle skewers with the glaze
