Strawberry Caprese Skewers with Balsamic Glaze
A fun, delicious twist on the classic Tomato Caprese Salad. Here sweet strawberries replace the tomato which pairs beautifully with the rich balsamic glaze and fresh basil.
Ingredients
- 16 smaller fresh strawberries, washed and cut across the width, hull intact
- 32 medium fresh basil leaves, washed and patted dry
- 16 mini Mozzarella balls
- 1 cup Balsamic Vinegar
- 2 tbsp High-quality extra virgin olive oil to drizzle
Instructions
- Thread the top of one strawberry onto a wooden skewer with the hull facing up. Next, fold one basil leaf in half, dark side facing out, and add it to the skewer. Add one mini-mozzarella ball, followed by another folded basil leaf, and the bottom half on the strawberry.
- Repeat Step #1 with the remaining strawberries, basil, and Mozzarella until you have 16 completed skewers. Arrange on a serving platter and set aside.
- To prepare the glaze, add balsamic vinegar to a small saute pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vinegar is reduced to about 1/3 of its original volume.
- Remove glaze from heat and let cool slightly. Drizzle over the skewers, along with some extra virgin olive oil, if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
