There are some days na wala ka nang masyadong panahon para mag-isip kung anung pwedi mong dalhin sa potluck get together ng  isa sa mga kaibigan mo. Today is my sister-in-law Potluck  Pre- Thanksgiving Party and I needed to bring  an appetizer. Since, I have been busy with school and studying to get my certification, I didn’t have a lot of time. So today, I decided to make something that is easy, quick and appetizing to your eyes as well as your taste buds. I took the Caprese salad and turned it into a single serving appetizer.Caprese salad appetizer

Caprese Salad Appetizer

  • 20 grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 20 fresh basil leaves
  • 20 small balls fresh mozzarella cheese (often labeled bocconcini)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 20 toothpicks

Mix the vinegar and oil together in a small bowl and marinate tomatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper, set aside for 30mins. Using a toothpick, spear tomato, a piece of basil, a mozzarella ball, and another half of a tomato. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Place on a serving dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using remaining marinade, drizzle over the top of the appetizers.
