I found this recipe the other day and served it when I hosted our book club meeting. It was a great hit.
So here is the recipe:
20 or 1 Small container of Cherry Tomatoes
20 or 1 Small container of Mozzarella cheese balls (found these at Target)
1 Small container of Fresh Basil (unless you have some in your garden)
1/2 Cup of Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 Cup of Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper
Citrus/Basil Spice from Pampered Chef
1. Drain the juice from the mozzarella cheese balls and put into a medium sized bowl.
2. Add the balsamic vinegar, oil olive and spice to the mozzarella balls and marinade in the refrigerator for a couple of hours
3. Wash and pat dry the basil leaves and cut into small pieces
4. On a tooth pick skewer spear 1/2 of a tomato, then add the mozzarella cheese ball, next spear a basil leaf and then add the other half of the tomato.
5. Lay on a serving plate and sprinkle some more olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt pepper and serve
NOTE: you can always add additional balsamic vinegar if you wish to the marinade.
