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.
