Description
Tortellini Caprese Skewers are a fun spin on the classic caprese salad. They're an easy appetizer ready in just 20 minutes, bursting with fresh flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ounces fresh cheese tortellini
- 1/2 pint cherry or grape tomatoes
- 6 ounces mini mozzarella balls (ciliegine)
- 16 fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt, to taste
- balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Boil the tortellini according to the package directions, until they're al dente. Drain and run under cold water to cool. Drizzle with a little olive oil to prevent them from sticking together while you assemble the skewers.
- Thread a tomato, basil leaf, tortellini, and mozzarella ball onto each skewer.
- Drizzle the skewers with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt.
- Serve them as is or with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Enjoy!
Notes
Make Ahead: Prepare the skewers up to 24 hours in advance, then refrigerate them in an airtight container. Add the balsamic glaze (if using) just before serving to maintain freshness.
Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days. The texture may change slightly once chilled. It is not recommended to freeze these skewers.
