Notes
- Nutritional facts:
- Please keep in mind that the nutritional information is calculated using a nutrition facts calculator. It is a rough estimate and can vary greatly
- Serving size is per skewer
- For best results use cherry or grape tomatoes.
- You can use mozzarella balls or slices of mozzarella.
- Fresh mozzarella is great but you can use cubed marinated mozzarella if that's what's available.
- Don't skip on the balsamic! It really brings out the flavor of the cheese and tomatoes.
- If you want a really lovely presentation, go for little bamboo skewers instead of toothpicks - they look so lovely!
- If you have big basil leaves, fold them over and skewer them. Easier to get them in your mouth
- For parties, it can be fun to lay out some other dipping sauces and variations of flavored balsamic.
