Mini Caprese Bites!

December 6, 2013 by Marisa Moore

I did a healthy holidays talk and demo for a client yesterday. I shared this easy holiday appetizer with the group and now I want to share it with you. Who doesn’t love a tomato, basil, mozzarella salad (AKA Caprese salad). It’s quite refreshing and delicious.  Now, these mini caprese bites are not new to the world but they are so much fun to make and eat.  Plus the red, white and green is bound to put you in a merry mood.

Check out the easy recipe below.  And think about other foods you can thread on a stick and enjoy!
