Tomatoes bursting with flavor alongside mozzarella and fresh basil, then drizzled with olive oil and balsamic vinegar and sprinkled with kosher salt and freshly cracked pepper.
This was an incredibly simple and delicious summer side dish to accompany a grilled dinner. I was able to prepare these in less time than it took for the steaks to rest after grilling.

What a terrific idea. I also like to serve fresh fruit on skewers for an easy pick up and eat side dish. I have tomatoes and may have to make these this weekend. Thanks again for another great idea.

These little skewers couldn't look more perfect! I adore caprese salad, but I might get my boys to eat it if I put it on a stick. 🙂
