Description

The ooh and aah factor is guaranteed with this Caprese-salad-turned-appetizer. Just in time for your Labor Day cookout!

Ingredients

  • 1 head Purple Cabbage
  • 24 pieces Fresh Mozzarella Bites
  • 24 pieces Grape Tomatoes
  • 24 leaves Fresh Basil
  • ¼ cups Balsamic Vinegar, Reduced To Syrup
  • ¼ teaspoons Flaked Sea Salt (such As Maldon)
  • 24 pieces Standard Round Toothpicks

Preparation

1) Trim bottom of cabbage so it will lay flat on a cake stand or plate. Set aside.
2) Remove mozzarella bites and drain them on paper towels.
3) Begin threading tomatoes, basil and mozzarella onto toothpicks. Basil leaves should be folded in half or quarters depending on leaf size.
4) Once all of the toothpicks are done, begin inserting them into the head of cabbage.
5) Add balsamic vinegar to small saucepan and over medium low heat, reduce vinegar a bit. Allow to cool. If you reduced it too much and it’s too thick, simply add a little room temperature balsamic vinegar to thin it out.
6) Drizzle Caprese bites with balsamic reduction and sprinkle with flaked sea salt just prior to serving.
