Holiday Meal
"Calorie Countdown"
What a successful, fast and easy this festive, nutitious appetizer was at our Hoilday Party last night. I must say I
snitched my portion ahead of the crowd so that I could add my measureable teaspoon of roasted garlic olive oil.. before
adding the overall sprinkle of oil the rest of the platter for the guests. Was a colorful, handy to serve, buffet favorite!

Mozzarella, Tomato & Basil Skewers
Ingredients:
1 pound tub ciliegini (fresh mozzarella balls), drained
10 oz tub grape tomatoes
1/2 pkg fresh basil leaves
2 Tbls baslamic vinegas
16 - 6" wooden skewers
Optional Olive Oil Add On.. This is a great way to get in your daily healthy oil.. sprinkle one teaspoon of your
favorite olive oil over your determined portion of skewers.. and add a POINT*... this is a great opportunity to use your yummy
roasted garlic infused olive oil!!
Directions:
Rinse tomatoes. Tear basil leaf in half or thirds. Assemble skewer with first one tomato, then a basil leaf, then a mozzarella
ball, then a basel leaf, repeat again starting with a tomato and ending with a mozzarella ball. Position on platter. Sprinkle with
baslamic vinegar. Sprinkle chiffanade* basil and optional olive oil. I prefer to add my oil on my portion seperately so that I can
calculate my measureable amount.
*To chiffinade basil, take thoroughly washed basil leaves and stack the leaves on top of one another so the edges line up evenly. Roll the stack of leaves lengthwise to resemble a cigar. Thinly slice crosswise to create thin ribbons of basil.
