Important Recipe Notes
- Use fresh ingredients – Fresh mozzarella, ripe cherry tomatoes, and fragrant basil make the biggest difference in flavor.
- If your basil leaves are large, fold them in half so they fit nicely on the skewer.
- You can assemble the skewers a few hours before your party. Keep them covered in the fridge and drizzle with balsamic just before serving.
- Use good-quality balsamic for the best flavor. A little drizzle goes a long way.
- For a little extra flavor, you can sprinkle some salt and pepper or add a tiny leaf of arugula with the basil.
