Ingredients

  • 16 red grape tomatoes
  • 8 mini mozzarella balls
  • 16 fresh basil leaves
  • 8 wooden food skewers
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Dash™ Italian Medley Seasoning
  • 2 tbsp balsamic glaze

Crafted with love, Cupid’s Arrow Caprese Skewers bring together tender tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil, all kissed with a sweet drizzle of balsamic glaze.

Directions

  1. Prepare tomatoes: Slice off the stem end of each tomato at a slight angle. Place the tomato, cut side down, on a cutting board and slice it in half. Arrange the two halves so their cut edges form a heart shape. Repeat for all tomatoes.
  2. Prepare mozzarella: Slice each mini mozzarella ball in half horizontally.
  3. Build skewers: Starting with one half of a mozzarella ball, thread it onto a skewer. Add a folded basil leaf, then a tomato heart, another folded basil leaf, and finally the other half of the mozzarella ball. Repeat for all skewers.
  4. Season and garnish: Drizzle each skewer with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with Dash™ Italian Seasoning
  5. Serve: Arrange skewers on a plate and drizzle with balsamic glaze.

Tips

  • For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the mozzarella in olive oil, a pinch of Italian seasoning, and a splash of balsamic vinegar for 15 minutes before assembling the skewers.
