Ghost Caprese Salad Skewers
Equipment
- Wooden skewers
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Serving plate
Ingredients
- 12 small fresh mozzarella balls
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 20 fresh basil leaves
- 8 black olives
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 12 wooden skewers
Instructions
- Slice the black olives into small pieces to form eyes and mouths for the ghosts.
- Press two olive pieces onto each mozzarella ball to create simple ghost faces.
- Thread one mozzarella ball, one cherry tomato, and one or two basil leaves onto each wooden skewer. Repeat the pattern until all skewers are filled.
- Arrange the finished skewers on a serving plate.
- Drizzle the balsamic glaze lightly over the skewers just before serving.
Notes
Prepare the mozzarella faces ahead and store the assembled skewers in the fridge without the glaze. Add the balsamic right before guests arrive so the mozzarella stays firm. If you want less tang, use a thicker aged balsamic instead of the glaze.
