Ingredients:

• Grape tomatoes
• Fresh mozzarella balls
• Fresh basil leaves
• Salt to taste
• Balsamic vinegar
• pepper to taste

Instructions:

• 1. Cut the tomatoes in half as straight across the diameter as you can.
• 2. Place all of the tomatoes, cut side down on the cutting board. Insert the toothpick through one half of a tomato and slide it up the toothpick.
• 3. Skewer a mozzarella ball and slide it up the toothpick until it is touching the tomato.
• 4. Place one small basil leaf (or half of a large leaf onto the skewer).
• 5. Then with the tomato resting on the cutting board, cut side down, insert the toothpick as straight as possible into the tomato so that the tomato makes a base for the remainder of the toothpick.
• 6. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. (Don’t be shy with the salt – these appetizers need it) Drizzle with balsamic vinegar. Serve cold.
