Caprese on a Stick

You've seen or perhaps made, Caprese salad. It's the colorful one that layers tomato, fresh mozzarella cheese, with a basil leaf on top. I drizzle extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and give it a dash of Kosher salt, when I make this salad. 

This recipe for Caprese on a stick is basically the same, but it uses cherry tomatoes and mozzarella balls for ease of skewering, and is placed on a wooden skewer for easy eating.

Ingredients:
20 small fresh mozzarella balls
20 fresh basil leaves
20 cherry tomatoes
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt & freshly ground pepper
20 small wooden skewers

Place the mozzarella, basil and tomatoes on small skewers. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
