Even kids will be tempted to eat their salad when it's on a stick and this good! Ingredients:
4 skewers, approximately 7 to 9 long |
20 grape tomatoes, or if you can't find those, use cherry tomatoes |
1 package of mozzarella cheese, the solid kind that's packed in water, not the pizza kind. |
a large bunch of fresh basil leaves, washed |
the best extra-virgin olive oil you can buy |
freshly-ground black pepper |
salt, if desired |
Directions:
1. Cut the Mozzarella into little squares - you will need 20 of them, all about the same size as the tomatoes.
2. Wash the tomatoes.
3. On a skewer, thread a tomato, a basil leaf, and then a cheese cube, and continue that way until the skewer contains 5 tomatoes and 5 cheese cubes. Finish it off with one more basil leaf.
4. Continue to fill all the skewers the same way.
5. Lay the skewers on a serving plate and sprinkle with salt and pepper and then drizzle a bit of olive oil over the whole thing.
6. If you want a little different flavor, you could add jumbo sized black olives of the type you like best to the skewers, but be sure the olives are pitted.
