- Caprese Skewer Recipe Tips
- Use the freshest ingredients. Since this is a cold appetizer with a very simple preparation and no sauces to “hide”, you want to use the very best you can find.
- Do not serve cold right out of the refrigerator, otherwise you won’t be able to taste all the flavors. Caprese salad is generally served at room temperature.
- Try not to add other condiments such as balsamic vinegar glaze, pesto, spices. They hide and overwhelm the flavor of the tomatoes and mozzarella.
