FRESH CAPRESE VEGETABLE KABOBS



Fresh Caprese Vegetable Kabobs image

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.

###

- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes. Look for tomatoes that are firm but not too hard, with smooth skin and no blemishes. - Use fresh, high-quality mozzarella cheese. Avoid using pre-shredded mozzarella, as it will not melt as well. - Use good quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. This will make a big difference in the flavor of the skewers. - 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. - Grill the skewers over medium heat until the tomatoes are slightly charred and the mozzarella is melted and bubbly. - Serve the skewers immediately, garnished with fresh basil leaves. ###

Caprese kabob skewers are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for summer parties and picnics. The combination of fresh tomatoes, mozzarella cheese, and basil is always a winner.
