Caprese Skewers are a modern, playful take on the classic Italian Caprese salad, served in a portable, bite-sized format. These vibrant skewers feature sweet cherry tomatoes, creamy fresh mozzarella balls, and aromatic basil leaves, all finished with a lush pesto drizzle and a touch of balsamic glaze for an extra punch of flavor and visual elegance.
Thread 1 cherry tomato, 1 mozzarella ball, and 1 basil leaf onto each skewer.
Repeat the pattern (tomato → mozzarella → basil) depending on skewer size.
Arrange skewers artfully on a large serving platter or slate board.
In a small bowl, whisk pesto with a little olive oil to create a spoonable consistency.
Using a small spoon or squeeze bottle, drizzle pesto lightly over the skewers.
Add a few drops or decorative streaks of balsamic glaze (optional).
Sprinkle with flaky salt and cracked pepper for added flavor and texture.
Serve with Prosecco, Sauvignon Blanc, or Aperol Spritz
Pairs well with light antipasti or crostini on a starter board
Use heirloom cherry tomatoes for a colorful twist.
Add a small piece of prosciutto folded between layers for a savory upgrade.
If serving ahead, store in the fridge and add pesto + balsamic right before serving.
