Ingredients
Scale
- Kebobs
- 6 to 8 skewers
- 250 grams of mozzarella balls (also called cherry style mozzarella)
- 13 red cherry tomatoes
- 13 yellow cherry tomatoes
- 3 large basil leaves or 6 small ones
- 6 cloves of roasted garlic (halved)
- Chimichurri Sauce
- 240 ml of packed fresh Italian Parsley
- 120 ml of packed fresh cilantro
- 60 ml of packed fresh oregano

- 2 cloves of garlic
- 3 grams of red pepper flakes
- 2.5 grams of cumin
- 2.5 grams of turmeric
- 2.5 grams of salt (additional to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare the balsamic dressing by emulsifying 1/3 cup of extra virgin olive oil with 1/3 cup of balsamic vinegar. Whisk together and season with salt and pepper. Optionally, add roasted garlic or any herbs of your choice.
- For each skewer, thread one mozzarella ball, one red cherry tomato, one yellow cherry tomato, one piece of roasted garlic, and a leaf of fresh basil (fold if necessary). Repeat the sequence until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at the end to hold.
- Continue assembling the remaining skewers in the same manner.
- Serve the skewers with the balsamic dressing on the side for dipping.
Notes
These skewers are perfect for a Super Bowl party or any casual gathering. If you don’t like chimichurri, the balsamic dressing is a great alternative and can also be used on salads. Feel free to get creative with additional herbs in the dressing. These can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
