Preparation
Chef’s notes
Use high-quality ingredients. Whenever you’re making a really simple recipe, the quality of your ingredients counts. I highly recommend making these Caprese skewers in the summer, when tomatoes and basil are both in season. If you can, source them from a local grower (or even your own garden!).
Make them day-of. These Caprese salad skewers are best on the day they’re made, when the basil is still vibrant and fresh. If you want to make them ahead for a party, assemble them up to 4 hours in advance and store them in the fridge. Add the olive oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic just before serving.
Have fun. Tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil are a fantastic combination, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get creative here. Try using strawberries or diced peaches in place of some of the tomatoes, or replace the basil with fresh mint. Let me know what variations you try!
