Annnnnd the summer caprese madness continues! You didn’t think I was finished yet, did you??? First it was a classic caprese, followed by a caprese salad with avocado. Now – caprese kabobs with balsamic glaze! Ah, the endless uses I am finding for the basil from my garden…
These skewered salads could not be easier to put together, and are a great treat to serve to your guests at a summer soiree. Or…any time of the year really. It doesn’t have to be summer to enjoy these!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: food items on a stick are so fun! I don’t know why the simple addition of a wooden skewer can be so endearing, but it definitely is in my book.
Anyway, the next time you’re bringing food to a gathering, think about whipping up a batch of these bad boys! And, if you’re looking for variety, you could also consider making some antipasto kabobs too!
What is your favorite food on a stick?
Caprese Kabobs with Balsamic Glaze
***makes 20 kabobs***
- 20 bamboo skewers
- 40 cherry tomatoes
- 20 mini mozzarella balls (or mozzarella cut in 1 inch cubes)
- 20 fresh basil leaves
- Cracked pepper
- Salt
- Balsamic glaze
- Place ingredients on skewers - pierce one cherry tomato, followed by one mozzarella ball, a leaf of basil, and a final cherry tomato. Arrange skewers in a single layer on a tray or in a pan.
- Sprinkle kabobs with salt and cracked pepper. Lightly drizzle balsamic glaze over the top of the kabobs, and serve!
Ooh- these look delicious!
Thanks for the kind words, Alana!
Those are so lovely. I think we might have a mutual obsession for caprese. So fresh and tasty. I wish I had a full garden…I’ve been snagging stuff from my brother’s garden every chance I get!!
Caprese is definitely my obsession right about now. If any recipe or dish at a restaurant has “caprese” in the title, I’ve got to have it!
Simple, beautiful and yummy! I’m sure I could eat the whole platter!
I’m pretty sure I could do the same thing, Liz! Bring it on!
YUM! They turned out so good! I am pinning this now to my party foods page 😉
Pass me like a dozen of these! I totally agree – food on sticks is just more fun than other food. I make caprese kabobs for just about every party I host!
I love that they’re so easy to make, but they are always a huge crowd pleaser. The best!
How far in advance can I prepare these ? I am hosting a party and would like to get as much done night before. Can I prepare it and just drizzle w glaze right before party?
