How To Make Strawberry Balsamic Caprese Skewers

To make the strawberry Caprese kabobs you don’t need a lot of time, you’ll just want to have all of your ingreiienst set up.

1.  Thread the top half of one strawberry onto a wooden skewer with the hull facing up.
2.  Next, fold one basil leaf in half, the dark side facing out, and add it to the skewer.
3.  Add one mini-Mozzarella ball, followed by another folded basil leaf, and the bottom half of the strawberry.
4.  Repeat Step #1 with the remaining strawberries, basil, and Mozzarella until you have 16 completed skewers.
5.  Arrange on a serving platter and set aside.
6. To prepare the glaze, add the balsamic vinegar to a small sauté pan, cooking and stirring until the vinegar reduces. However, I have a different recipe I genuinely prefer for Balsamic Glaze here.
7. Remove the glaze from the heat and let it cool slightly. 
8.   Drizzle over the skewers, and add some extra virgin olive oil, if desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

PRO TIP FOR THE STRAWBERRY CAPRESE WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE (PLEASE READ)

The warm balsamic glaze will start to melt the cheese on contact.

For a cleaner presentation, avoid adding the glaze to the cheese while drizzling it onto the skewers.

What Other Options Are There For The Strawberry Caprese With Balsamic Dressing?

• Use bottled, premade, store-bought balsamic glaze. It won’t be warm, so you can drizzle it all over.
• Try my alternate homemade balsamic recipe with a sugar ingredient added to the balsamic glaze
• Add mint leaves for an accented taste, or chop mint leaves and spread them over top of the berries
• add peach slices to each
• try salted caramel atop these Caprese
