I have to admit that Caprese salad is probably at the top of my list for all things perfect. You put enough cheese, tomatoes, and basil at something, it’s heaven. Just ask pizza, lasagna and spaghetti, know what I mean? This recipe is a great reminder that you don’t need to have a big huge Italian meal to enjoy flavors that burst in your mouth. I can’t promise you won’t eat the whole batch yourself, but if you are the kind of person that can limit yourself, these are just Caprese salad bites.
Not me. I need a whole plate. Like a Caprese salad bite PLATTER. Either way, great to serve up with all the holiday meals coming and keeping everyone happy till turkey, ham or whatever you are serving this year makes the cut.
Of course if you are looking for an appetizer, make sure you have something to serve it on. Why time the time to include these gorgeous bites without the display! Here are some cost friendly options on Amazon to make your party as beautiful as it is tasty.
