This appetizer is more creative than a veggie platter and healthier than chips and dip. I often make it for my family to snack on, and it's a great recipe for the kids to help with. —Christine Mitchell, Glendora, California

Tip

Fresh Mozzarella Facts

Compared to the more firm texture of most commercially produced mozzarella, fresh mozzarella is soft and moist. The flavor is mild, delicate and somewhat milky. Fresh mozzarella is usually shaped into balls and stored in brine. After buying fresh mozzarella, it should be refrigerated in the brine and eaten within a few days.

I have made this twice and received rave reviews both times. It makes a very tasty light summer appetizer and is fun to eat.

These are excellent! I always get compliments when I take them to get togethers with friends. I would suggest using white balsamic vinegar -- it doesn't discolor the cheese.

My guests just raved about these. I sprinkled some salt and cracked pepper on them just before serving. These were so easy to make and such a big hit. Was a perfect appitzer for my guests that followed a glueten free diet. Be sure to use a good quality Balsamic vinegar and olive oil since this has so few ingredients, you want the quality to stand out.

I made this for a wedding I catered and everyone loved it. I couldnt find fresh basil leaves in the quantity I needed at a price the bride could afford so I used chopped fresh basil mixed it with the oil & vinegar and marinated the cheese and then brushed it over the kabobs before serving.

Very good but i skewer mine on fresh rosemary stalks. Just cut the size you need and strip off the rosemary leaves but leave a couple of inches of them on the end. Makes them look real fancy and since i have fresh rosemary in my garden all summer it's another use for it.
