Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 15 larger skewers

Ingredients

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes (you might not use them all)
  • 8 ounces small fresh mozzarella balls
  • Small to medium basil leaves (from 1 bunch of basil)
  • 1/2 cup prepared pesto
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  • Using a toothpick, skewer 1 cherry tomato, 1 basil leaf (folded or torn if larger) and 1 mozzarella ball. If your toothpick is longer, you can skewer 2 tomatoes and mozzarella balls, adding a piece of basil in between each.
  • Place pesto in a medium bowl and whisk in olive oil. The pesto should be a pourable consistency. Add more olive oil or splash of water if needed.
  • To serve, place skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with pesto. Finish with a sprinkling of flaky sea salt. Serve extra pesto on the side for dipping or drizzling.
