Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 20 pieces Mozzarella balls
- 5 leaves Romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 10 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 10 pieces Wooden skewers (8-inch)
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients. Rinse the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, and basil leaves under cold water.
Slice the cucumber into approximately 1/4-inch thick rounds, creating 20 slices total.
Tear or cut the romaine lettuce leaves into small, skewer-friendly pieces.
Assemble the skewers by threading each onto a wooden skewer in the following order: 1 cherry tomato, 1 piece of romaine lettuce, 1 cucumber slice, 1 mozzarella ball, and 1 basil leaf. Repeat this pattern until all ingredients are used and the skewer is full, leaving about 1 inch of space at the bottom for easy handling.
Repeat the process with the remaining skewers until all ingredients are evenly distributed across the 10 skewers.
Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze evenly over the skewers.
Sprinkle the skewers with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately as a fresh and portable appetizer or snack!
