This is a great, easy finger appetizer. I came up with it because I love Caprese but it was difficult to serve at large parties. Putting the same ingredients on a toothpick yielded great results.
Ingredients
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 (.6 ounce) package fresh basil leaves
- 1 (16 ounce) package small fresh mozzarella balls
- toothpicks
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Thread a tomato half, a small piece of basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball onto toothpicks until all ingredients are used. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomato, cheese and basil, leaving the end of the toothpick clean. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

Thank you, ALZ. These were delicious and oh so easy. I did, however, add to each toothpick a quarter of a slice of thinly cut prosciutto and drizzled the lot with garlic-infused olive oil to kick it up a bit.
-
These are so good! I marinated my mozzarella pearls in an Italian dressing made with balsamic vinegar over night. Got soooo many rav reviews, and requests for the recipe. Thank you for such a flavor full and fun one bite idea.

I made this, but I used long skewers and repeated the pattern a couple of times then put them in a clear wide mouth vase filled with marbles for display it was the talk of the party, beautiful and delicious!

I have made this appetizer many times. I use the mozzarella balls that come in a marinated oil. I then drizzle some balsamic vinagrette salad dressing over the finished product. This just adds a bit more flavor. The are very well received everywhere I take them!

The 1st time I made this I followed it to a tee but the 2nd time I poked a few little holes in the sides of the tomatoes with a toothpick. They absorbed better & quicker I think. ?

So delicious and cute! I love Caprese salads, and make them often in the summer. I never tried making these little appetizers, and they are so easy and look so pretty on a platter. I didn’t half the tomatoes I left them whole. Next time I make these, I’m going to use the marinated mozzarella balls, and use the seasoned oil from them to drizzle over these. A splash of balsamic with the olive oil is good also. Thanks for sharing this 🙂

I bought the mozzarella already flavored with spices and in oil so I skipped the olive oil, salt/pepper step and it turned out fantastic. I love Caprese and think this is a great idea! Next time I may add a bit of basalmic out of my own preference but really, this was a good, quick snack that all enjoyed.

These were awesome. I took them to a wine tasting party. Only thing different I did was add a splash of balsamic. Every one LOVED them and they look so pretty on the platter.

Yum! I had everything on hand for these, minus the cherry tomatoes, so I just cut up a regular tomato and used that. These were so cute and very tasty! Yes, they would be perfect for a party! I will be making these again. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

Great–quick, easy, will definitely do again and again.

I make something similar as a garnish for bloody marys on long skews but use whole grape tomatoes & sprinkle lightly w/dry italian dressing mix before the olive oil, adding a little balsamic, pepperoni, pickles, jalapenos, banana peppers, shrimp, etc. I usually let them marinate overnight

I had this same appetizer at a party. Delicious!! I have made this with the addition of sun dried tomatoes and olives as well. I also add a splash of balsamic. A wonderful appetizer that gets eaten up quickly.

I have taken this one step further by making the salad on a long bamboo skewer. I then stuff a cylinder-type pitcher/glass with chopped kale and stick the skewers in the kale, making a decorative centerpiece as well as a delicious appetizer.

This a simple yet different appetizer. I could not find a package of plain mozzarella balls so used pre-marinated ones and skipped the ‘drizzle’ oil over the entire thing. They are absolutely delicious and very colorful. Love them!!
-
I would recommend using pre-marinated mozzarella balls. This was VERY bland using un-marinated mozzarella balls. The olive oil and salt and pepper aren’t enough to flavor them.

A very easy recipe to put together. I buy grape tomatoes & mozzarella balls at the warehouse clubs then use the smallest of each from the packages whole. They can be made well in advance this way.

These were surprisingly the hit of our housewarming party! I have to say, they were a pain to assmble but there is something about the flavors of caprese that just cannot be beat. I made a TON of these and they are really beautiful laid out on a pretty platter.

These are wonderful! The only mozz balls I could find were marinated so used those and it was still amazing. Other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. It didn’t take very long to put together. Made these ahead of time and they kept just fine in the fridge. They also made a beautiful presentation. These got so many compliments at our party. I doubled the recipe and they were gone in no time. Can’t wait to make these again!!

These were yummy and beautiful but a word of caution, I took them to a party that was about an hour away and the car must have been too warm because when we got there and I took the plastic wrap off the cheese was kind of melted and really mushy. They still tasted great but didn’t look quite as pretty as when I made them!

I chopped the basil leaves up and halved the tomatoes and mozzarella. Then I put all three items in a ziploc bag with the oil (I used garlic infused oil), salt and pepper and let it sit overnight before putting on toothpicks/skewers. The flavors blend together all the more when you let it sit for a while first.

Thanks! Easy to make, beautiful to look at on a plate when arranged nicely and much easier to eat at parties than the actual salad form. Everyone loved it. I read the reviews and used the pre-marinaded mozzarella balls, grape tomatoes and sprinkled balsamic vinegar over top before serving.

This is great to bring to parties or to make as a quick and fresh snack. Sometimes I use the colorful mini heirloom tomatos from Trader Joes. I also like to buy their marinated fresh mozzarella balls and I cut the in half and sandwich two pieces of fresh basil and a tomato in the middle on a plastic toothpick. I lightly drizzle some balsamic vinegar over them before serving.

Awesome – really liked these. They were super easy to make and really fresh tasting. I also drizzled with a really nice balsamic vinegar along with the olive oil – and a touch of sea salt and fresh pepper. They were gone within minutes.

Easy, simple and classic…..love them! Served as a appy last night for a family gathering. No changes made. What’s not to love!

So simple, yet so delicious! This makes a great little appetizer not only for its color but also for its freshness and flavor. I left the cherry tomatoes whole and these were perfect served with wine and crusty Italian bread.

These are really fun and tasty for a party. Made a bunch of them as appetizers for my husband’s 50th birthday party and they were a hit.

This is a great appetizer and goes over well with kids and adults. I threaded another piece of basil and the other half of the cherry tomato at the bottom. It really looked pretty, but I felt it could use a little something ‘extra’ so I drizzled with balsamic vinegar in addition to the oil. Perfect…5 stars with that addition.

This was a great idea. I added a black olive to each of my skewers (I had tiny bamboo skewers) as I didn’t have any fresh basil. I did black olive, boconcinni with a grape cherry tomato on the end. I then marinated the skewers in some leftover balsamic dressing I had. They were great.

I’ve done this too, so I agree that it’s a great way to serve this dish. The only difference with mine is that I roast a minced garlic clove and mix it with the olive oil before drizzling.

I love caprese salad, and love how handy this is for parties. I slice the grape tomatoes in half, ditto for small balls of mozarella, then add olive oil, s&p, torn basil (the pieces stick to the tomatoe and mozarella) and balsamic viniegar. I can’t do caprese without any vinegar! I thread regular toothpicks with the tomato and mozarella. At parties, there is never any left!!

Made these for a housewarming party, both plates disappeared very quick. I bought the mozzarella balls that were already marinated which gave it more flavor and also placed each caprese ontop of sliced baget then drizzled olive oil infused with garlic n herb which alone is VERY addicting!

These are the best for a health conscious appetizer, but to help kick up the flavor, try adding and reducing balsamic vinegar. To reduce your vinegar, pour into a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat constantly stirring to prevent scorching the vinegar. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the vinegar has reduced by half. Set aside, and cool to room temperature. When ready to serve, drizzle over the appetizer. For different variations/flavor try adding garlic, red pepper flakes, etc., while reducing. Note: the vinegar will naturally sweeten as it reduces and will keep for months properly stored.

These are delicious and so easy! I’ve also varied it a little by putting a black olive on the toothpick, and/or chopping the basil, whisking it into the olive oil, and brushing it over the assembled skewer.

These were a huge hit yesterday (Thanksgiving)! I was fortunate to find marinated fresh mozzarella balls, so I used those instead of using the olive oil, salt and pepper; if you find those at your grocer they are a great alternative. Also, there were no cherry tomatoes available, so I got small “grape” tomatoes and cut them in half. These were quick and fun to assemble. A true mini-caprese salad on a stick. Yum!

I had to do a dinner party for my wife’s 30th birthday and the theme was italian food. I wanted to do a Caprese salad but wanted something that could be eaten by hand as part of an appetizer spread. I jazzed this up a bit adding some salad oil bottles of Olive oil and basalmic vinegar for people to sprinkle on these. They were a huge hit!

Brilliant idea. I made these for my party last week. They were gone in minutes! I used plum tomatoes and halved them. So bottom bit was bottom half of the tomato, then a mozzarella pearl, 1 basil leaf and other half of the tomato. I placed them in a shallow bowl in a circle with a smaller dipping bowl in the middle with olive oil and very good quality balsamic vinegar. Instant hit and so easy!

I used whole grape tomatoes and even though they were small, I should’ve halved them because this should be eaten in one bite. With a whole tomato, even though it was small, it was too big for one bite when paired with the little cheese ball.
Looks Christmasy with the red & green! -

This was so good! I left the cherry tomatoes whole and couldn’t find any boccocini, so I just cut up a block of mozzarella into cubes. After skewering, I marinated them overnight with the olive oil, salt, and pepper, and added a few fresh sprigs of rosemary. It came out perfect and these were a hit at my New Years party. I used 4 inch bamboo skewers and ended up with about 24 skewers, each one using 2 cherry tomatoes, 2 cubes of cheese, and 1-2 basil leaves (some of which I cut in half becuase mine were kind of huge).

This recipe is amazing and was a hit! I used marinated mozzarella balls and cut them in half. I skipped the olive oil and drizzled the oil from the mozzarella balls over the top of the skewers. On the side I had a bowl of balsamic vinagraite dressing for dipping. It was fabulous!

This is one of my favorite summertime salads anyway, but the makeover into a fun appetizer makes it even awesomer (it also apparently makes me invent words like “awesomer.” Hehe.) Loved this for the fresh taste, the ease, and the pretty presentation. YUM.
-
Absolutely delicious! I could easily eat an entire plate myself. I ended up making them like tiny sandwiches with a half of tomato on top, mozarella and basil in the middle, and another half tomato at the end. It all fit nicely on one toothpick.
