This recipe is perfect for parties, picnics or a light and refreshing snack. With only three ingredients, these skewers are quick to prepare, making them an ideal last-minute dish. Their vibrant colours and fresh taste make them a great addition to any appetiser spread. They are not only visually appealing but are also packed with protein, healthy fats and antioxidants.

  • Serve immediately: Enjoy fresh or let them marinate for a few minutes to enhance the taste.

PREP TIME

COOKING TIME

 

None

TIPS

 

  • Use fresh mozzarella: Bocconcini or ciliegine mozzarella works best for bite-sized skewers.
  • Add fresh basil: Layer a basil leaf between the tomato and mozzarella for added aroma and an authentic Caprese-style taste.
  • Drizzle with olive oil: A touch of extra virgin olive oil enhances the flavour.
  • Marinate for extra taste: Let the skewers rest for 10 minutes after assembling to absorb the balsamic flavour.
  • Use balsamic glaze: Instead of vinegar, try balsamic glaze for a thicker, sweeter drizzle.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Keto-Friendly Option: Skip the balsamic vinegar or replace it with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Vegan Alternative: Swap mozzarella for dairy-free cheese or marinated tofu cubes.
  • Add More Greens: Thread cucumber slices or baby spinach for added crunch.
  • Herb-Infused Version: Sprinkle with dried oregano or Italian seasoning for extra depth.
  • Spicy Twist: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a kick.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended because fresh mozzarella and tomatoes do not freeze well.
  • Make-Ahead: Assemble the skewers a few hours in advance and refrigerate. Drizzle with balsamic just before serving.
