Basil Caprese Salad Skewers w/ Fig Balsamic

Basil Caprese Salad Skewers w/ Fig Balsamic

Ingredients

  • 2 C grape tomatoes
  • 16 oz mozzarella cheese in light salt water, drained
  • ¼ C Olivia's Basil Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp scant red pepper flakes, add more or less to suit your taste
  • ½ tsp sea salt
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste (about 12-15 grinds)
  • ½ C Olivia's Fig Balsamic
  • 2 tbs butter
  • basil leaves
  • Skewers

Instructions

  • Place tomatoes and drained mozzarella into a bowl or Tupperware container.
  • Whisk together Basil Olive Oil, Fig Balsamic, red pepper flakes (gently crush in your hands to release flavors), salt and pepper.
  • Pour mixture over tomatoes and mozzarella, gently combine and place in refrigerator to marinade for 1 hour.
  • Skewer the tomatoes and mozzarella. There’s no particular way or right or wrong way to do this: I did tomato, cheese, basil, tomato, cheese. How much basil you use is up to you.
  • Place skewers on plate and drizzle the remaining mixture over the skewers, using as little or much as you want.
  • Take out of fridge at least 30 mins before serving
