Vinagrette:
5 tbs. olive oil
1 tbs. balsamic vinegar
zest of 1 lemon
salt and pepper
Directions:
1. Combine ingredients for vinegrette. Whisk or shack together (can be done in advance. Pour over cheese or tomatoes and cover well or store dressing separately.
2. On day of, skewer 1 cherry tomato, 1 small basil leaf, and 1 piece of cheese.
3. Keep in fridge until ready to serve. Drizzle last minute if you didn't marinate prior
although a little more difficult and expensive, i bet a nice, soft fresh mozzarella would have been amazing with this. but this is a wonderful appetizer for a party. good job, girl!
