Caprese Kabobs

Food on a stick!

Corn dogs, fudgicles, fruit pops, grilled shrimp on the barbie!

Add to the mix my delicious Caprese Kabobs! They are quick, easy and healthy.  Like all food on a stick, your family, friends and guests will love them.

The Caprese salad is one of my favorites – juicy, ripe tomatoes, creamy mozzarella and torn basil.  Each time I eat this salad I’m reminded of the lovely trip I had with my mom to Rome and Palermo while on my junior year abroad.

I thought this is the perfect recipe to share with you since your gardens will be bursting with fresh tomatoes and basil very soon!

Caprese Salad Kabobs

Ingredients

  • wooden skewers
  • grape tomatoes (or your favorite variety fresh from the garden)
  • basil
  • mini balls of mozzarella in oil
  • olive oil
  • balsamic
  • lemon (optional)
  • black pepper

tomato_mozzerella_basil_skewersWash your tomatoes and basil.

On the skewer, start with a tomato and then alternate basil, mozzarella, and tomato – making a pattern on the stick.  Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic or use the oil that the mozaralla was marinated in.  You an also add fresh lemon zest and lemon juice to the dressing to enhance the flavors.

Easy, peasy lemon squeezy!

These are great for a barbecue, but you can also serve mini versions for cocktail parties!

Hi Danielle,
Such a pretty looking kabob! I’ve never thought to put these on the grill before – I bet it’s fantastic.
Hope life is being good to you. I’ve been insanely busy and not had a chance to visit my friends as much as I’d like. Looks like you’ve been very busy too! Have a great weekend and I’ll see you Sunday!

You and your Mom must have some wonderful memories of that trip being together. Your kebobs look and sound delicious. I wish we had some tomatoes growing. Hubs just not in mood lately. But do I ever love to eat salads, greens. Good for what ever might ail us. After winter we all need some cleaning out and healthy foods more. When we lived in Cleveland, my Mom’s sister and family had big huge acres of garden we all shared in. I can remember biting into tomatoes right off the stem. Oh yummmy. Nothing like it.
