CAPRESE SALAD KABOBS
Trade in the usual veggie platter for these fun kabobs. In addition to preparing these for get-togethers, I often make these as snacks for my family. And because assembly is so easy, the kids often ask to help. —Christine Mitchell, Glendora, California

Time 1h25m
Yield 12 skewers
Number Of Ingredients 8
Steps:
- Combine the garlic, salt, pepper flakes, and olive oil in a medium glass bowl. Cover and microwave on high until the garlic is golden, about 2 minutes. Cool. Add the bocconcini and refrigerate for at least 1 and up to 24 hours. Thread a yellow cherry tomato onto a skewer, wrap a bocconcini in a basil leaf and add to the skewer, then finish with a red tomato. For a dramatic presentation, use both pear and cherry tomatoes. Halve the top cherry tomato and use it as a stand for the skewer. Repeat with the remaining cheese and tomatoes. Save the oil for a dipping sauce and serve with a small bowl of kosher salt.
EASY SNACK SKEWERS
Steps:
- For the skewers: Slide a salami round on the end of a 6-inch wooden skewer. Follow with a roasted red pepper ribbon, folded back on top of itself. Top with a cheese tortellini. Repeat, then finish with a mozzarella ball and tomato at the pointy end of the skewer. (Each skewer gets 2 salami rounds, 2 pepper ribbons, 2 tortellini, 1 mozzarella ball and 1 tomato). Repeat with the remaining skewers.
- For the creamy Italian dip: Whisk together the mayo, buttermilk, Parmesan, parsley, Italian seasoning, granulated garlic and some salt and pepper in a bowl and serve with the skewers.
WATERMELON-TOMATO SKEWER
Steps:
- Cut top and bottom off the watermelon to level it. Sit it upright and cut away the rind. Cut into 1-inch cubes, reserve.
- Bring a small pot of water to boil. Have a small bowl of ice water on the side. Carefully drop the cherry tomatoes into the water. Allow to cook for 10 seconds. Put in the ice water. Carefully peel away the skin and cut into halves (note: the tomatoes do not have to be peeled.)
- Whisk together the vinegar and oil.
- Place a tomato half on top of each watermelon cube with the flat side facing up. Poke a bamboo skewer through the top all the way down to secure the 2 items. Line up the skewers on a serving tray.
- Drizzle the vinaigrette over the skewered tomato and watermelon. Sprinkle with salt and place a micro basil leaf on top. Serve.
