Caprese Bites

This is just about the easiest appetizer you can make, and the bonus is that it’s relatively healthy. All you need are grape tomatoes, mozzarella balls, basil and balsamic reduction.

Cut the tomatoes in half and cut the mozzarella balls in halves or thirds. Then just thread them onto skewers, sprinkle some chopped basil over and drizzle on balsamic reduction. Add a little salt and pepper and you have a perfect, easy appetizer.
