Caprese Salad is one of my favorite ways to enjoy fresh summer tomatoes. I needed a light starter for my pizza party, and caprese salad was the first idea that popped into my mind, however I also wanted something that was easy to snack on, so I decided to make mini caprese salad bites on a stick, drizzled with a balsamic glaze. They turned out beautifully and are so easy to make!
Caprese Salad Bites
- 20 fresh basil leaves
- 10 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
- 1 ball of buffalo mozzarella cut into 20 cubes
- Crema di balsamico, or homemade balsamic reduction

- toothpicks
Directions
- Wash tomatoes and basil, cut tomatoes in half
- Cut mozzarella into cubes
- With your toothpick in hand, add tomato, basil leave (folded in half) and mozzarella, repeat until you have assembled all of the bites
- On a plate or platter arrange the salad bites, season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with crema di balsamico
