Fresh Tomato-Basil Caprese Kabobs
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Start to Finish: 1 hour 30 minutes
Makes: 34 Kabobs
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
2/3 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil or lemon basil leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 pint red cherry tomatoes
1 pint yellow cherry tomatoes
2 medium zucchini or yellow squash, cubed
1 lb fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed
34 (6 inch) bamboo skewers
Fresh basil leaves, if desired
1 In large bowl, mix oil, lemon juice, basil, salt and pepper, using wire whisk. Add tomatoes, zucchini and cheese. Cover and refrigerate about 30 minutes.
2 Drain vegetables, reserving olive oil mixture. Thread skewers alternately with tomatoes, zucchini and cheese; top with basil leaf. Serve kabobs with reserved olive oil mixture.
When I made this the grocery store didn't have yellow cherry tomatoes. I just bought 2 pints of the red cherry tomatoes and put one cherry tomatoe at each end.
Virtually any skewer-able vegetable will work in this recipe. Try red, green or yellow bell pepper pieces or fresh pea pods.
