Want a fun, fresh twist on the traditional caprese recipe?

How about trying out these adorable little caprese appetizers from MyRecipes.com?

They are the perfect bite-size snack...pretty and flavorful all packed into one!

And I love how versatile they are.

They're formal enough to be served at a stylish soiree, yet would fit in just perfectly at a casual tailgate or Super Bowl party.

They'd also work great for a patriotic snack. Just add a blue ribbon or an American flag to the top of the pick and you've got a cute little red, white and blue treat!

For this Recipe You'll Need:

• One pint grape tomatoes, halved
• 10 to 14 fresh small mozzarella cheese balls, cut into thirds (you can also use 1/2-inch cubes)
• 32 (4-inch) wooden skewers or picks
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 6 thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
• Kosher salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

• Layer 1 tomato half, 1 piece of cheese, and another tomato half onto each skewer. Place skewers in a shallow serving dish.
• Combine oil, vinegar, kosher salt and pepper in a small bowl. Whisk together until well blended.
• Drizzle oil mixture over skewers; sprinkle with basil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
