Caprese is a summer classic, that’s why it’s my go to recipe. It’s always requested, but never the same. You can serve it sliced and stacked, as a kabob or cut and mixed as salad. At the beginning of the year, I served yellow tomato caprese for the teachers’ back-to-school. It seemed only fitting to use yellow tomatoes in my caprese for the end-of-the-year party today! So since I never serve anything exactly the same way twice, I’ll share my current variation. I halved golden grape tomatoes (first time I’ve found these at the store!!!), red grape tomatoes and the mozzarella balls (ciliegine). Then, I tossed them together with extra virgin olive oil, fresh chopped sweet basil, fresh ground sea salt, and fresh cracked black pepper. Just before serving I will drizzle with some balsamic vinegar.

The hardest part is making sure the caprese is not devoured before leaving the house… with this dish, it’s not just Hubster, it’s also me!

Which summer dish do you prepare multiple variations?

Caprese is my favorite summer time salad. Arrange a spread platter for a formal party, cube and chunk it for a BBQ, stack it for individual servings, on put it on a stick or cocktail our or a shower…

Caprese Kabobs

If you are using wooden skewers, the first step is to prep them by soaking them in water, with a splash on lemon juice.

Caprese Salad – Use fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini) and alternate on skewer with cherry or grape tomatoes. Chop fresh basil and sprinkle on kabobs. Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and EVOO. Sprinkle with fresh cracked pepper and fresh ground sea salt. Garnish with whole basil leaves.

Enjoy!
