20 mins prep20 mins total

Arrange the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, basil leaves and folded salami on small skewers or cocktail sticks, alternating the ingredients so each bite has a little of everything.
Place the skewers on a serving platter and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic glaze just before serving, or serve the glaze alongside for dipping.

Notes

Serve at room temperature so the mozzarella and basil show their full flavour. Assemble up to an hour ahead and drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving.

About this recipe

These easy Caprese skewers turn the classic Italian combination of tomato, mozzarella and basil into a colourful hand-held starter. Salami adds a savoury edge, while balsamic glaze brings a glossy, sweet-tangy finish.

Assemble them shortly before serving and arrange on a platter for an effortless party nibble, picnic lunch or aperitivo spread.
