There are tons of different types of food available on a stick. Ice cream, corn dogs, sausage, alligator (if you are from New Orleans this won't seem so odd) and cookies to name a few. I don't know if food is more fun to eat on a stick or if it is just easier. Here is a version of my favorite type of salad on a stick - Caprese Salad Skewers. Fun to make, fun to eat and even more fun to serve!Caprese Salad Skewers
Ingredients
Ciliegine (little cherry size fresh mozzarella)
20 Basil Leaves
1 Pint of Grape Tomatoes
6-8" skewers
Sea Salt
Cracked Black Pepper

DirectionsSkewer 1 Cherry Tomato onto a Skewer.
Roll 1/2 of a Basil leaf
and Skewer on top of the tomato.

Now THAT is just about the prettiest and most interesting salad I've ever seen. Oh, and it looks delicious too. I'm so glad you shared this recipe and photos with us.

ReplyDeletehi, this looks delicious, but there is a slight typo, you are supposed to mix 1/4 cup of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of olive oil?? :D
