Recipe Summary Mozzarella And Tomato Appetizer

A friend brought these simple yet delicious and refreshing appetizers to a party recently and I've been making them ever since! They are especially good served cold during the hot summer months.

Ingredients | Cherry Tomato And Mozzarella Salad

24 long cocktail toothpicks

48 cherry or grape tomatoes, rinsed and dried

6 thin slices prosciutto, each cut into quarters

24 bite-size marinated mozzarella balls*

24 fresh basil leaves

¼ cup Italian salad dressing

Directions

Thread each toothpick with: one tomato, 1/4 of a slice of prosciutto folded into a small square, one mozzarella ball, one basil leaf (folded if it is large), and one more tomato.

Arrange appetizers on a serving platter. Drizzle with your favorite Italian salad dressing.

*If marinated mozzarella is not available, you can make your own. Buy bite-size plain mozzarella balls, or cut large fresh mozzarella balls into bite-size cubes. Marinate in olive oil, minced garlic, chopped basil, plain or flavored vinegar, and Italian seasoning for several hours before assembling the appetizers.
