Ingredients

  • 2 pints cherry tomatoes
  • 2 (8 oz.) cont. fresh Ciliegine (small mozzarella cheese balls)

  • Dried Italian seasoning
  • 30 (6-inch) wooden skewers

Instructions

  • Thread the skewers in a repeating pattern: two cherry tomatoes, one Ciliegine (small mozzarella ball), and a fresh basil leaf. Alternate the ingredients so colors are evenly distributed.
  • Continue assembling until you have used all the tomatoes and mozzarella. Adjust the number of basil leaves to taste.
  • Just before serving, lightly drizzle with extra virgin olive oil or a touch of balsamic vinegar. Season with salt, freshly cracked pepper and a sprinkle of dried Italian seasoning or other herbs you prefer.
