Greetings Breezles,

  Are you invited to a Memorial Day BBQ, but have no idea what to bring? I am gluten free and choose not to eat red meat, so it can be difficult for me to eat at parties because many times the food doesn’t fit my dietary restrictions. Because of this I try to be sensitive to those with certain dietary needs and I like to bring food that is vegetarian and gluten free. I know this doesn’t fit everyone’s needs, but at least it helps a few of us out there. Here is an easy appetizer recipe that has always been a crowd pleaser when we have shared it with firends.

Do you have a go to appetizer?

♥, E

Ingredients for 12 Skewers:

12 Wooden Skewers

Fresh Basil

24 Cherry Tomatoes

24 Mozzarella Balls

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Balsamic Vinegar

Salt and Pepper

Directions

Cut the basil in half

Pierce the middle of a mozzarella ball with the skewer and slide it down (about an inch from the bottom)

Pierce the middle of a tomato and slide it down the skewer until it rests upon the mozzarella ball

Pierce a piece of basil and slide it down the skewer until it reaches the tomoato

Continue with the another mozzarella ball, tomato and piece of basil until the skewer is full

Do this again until you have filled all skewers with cheese, tomatoes and basil

Place all skewers on a plate and drizzle the desired amount of olive oil and balsamic vinegar over skewers

Season skewers with salt and pepper

Serve and enjoy!
