Caprese Skewers

An Italian snack built around cherry tomatoes and mozzarella pearls — on the table in 10 minutes. Each serving lands at 320 calories with 27g of protein, so it eats like a much heavier meal. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients

• 6 Cherry tomatoes
• 3 oz Mozzarella pearls
• 6 leaves Basil
• 1 tsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Balsamic glaze

Steps

1. Pick 6 cherry tomatoes roughly the same size so every skewer looks tidy.
2. Rinse and pat dry the tomatoes, 6 basil leaves, and 3 oz mozzarella pearls. Wet tomatoes make the drizzle slide right off.
3. On each of 6 short skewers or toothpicks, thread one tomato, one basil leaf folded in half, and one mozzarella pearl. Repeat the pattern if there is room.
4. Arrange the skewers on a plate with a little space between them so the drizzle reaches each one.
5. Drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil, then 1 tsp balsamic glaze in a thin zigzag. A little glaze goes a long way, so go light.
6. Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky salt if you have it and serve chilled or at room temperature.
