These kabobs are a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and basil. They're also a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the kabobs took a little longer to cook than I expected.

I grilled the kabobs for a few minutes too long, and the tomatoes got a little mushy. Next time, I'll be more careful.

I'm not a big fan of mozzarella cheese, so I used feta cheese instead. It was still delicious!

I added a drizzle of balsamic glaze to the kabobs before serving, and it really took them to the next level.

I wasn't sure how the tomatoes and basil would hold up on skewers, but they stayed together perfectly. I grilled them for a few minutes per side, and they were cooked to perfection.

These Caprese Kabobs were a hit at my last party! The fresh tomatoes and basil were so flavorful, and the mozzarella cheese added a creamy richness. I will definitely be making these again.
