FRESH CAPRESE VEGETABLE KABOBS
This is a beautiful appetizer dish or side dish. It's great for potlucks and it always gets lots of compliments. The key is to use the freshest of ingredients. I buy the fresh basil and tomatoes from my farmer's market or (if it's winter) our local fresh market. NOTE: If you can't find little cherry sized mozzarella, you can buy the large sized balls and cut them into bite sized pieces.

- Drain vegetables and thread onto skewers in desired pattern.
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are firm but not too hard, with smooth skin and no blemishes.

- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Alternate the tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil leaves on the skewers for a colorful and flavorful presentation.
- Drizzle the skewers with olive oil and balsamic vinegar before grilling. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
