In the heart of summer, when the tomatoes are ripe and the basil is fragrant, there’s nothing quite like a simple caprese salad to capture the essence of the season. These mini caprese skewers are a delightful twist on a classic, perfect for gatherings on the porch or a quiet evening with family. The dish hails from the Campania region of Italy, but it has found a cherished place in our Midwestern hearts, where fresh produce and simple flavors are celebrated. These skewers are not only a feast for the taste buds but also a nod to the timeless tradition of enjoying nature’s bounty in its purest form.
These mini caprese skewers pair beautifully with a crusty loaf of homemade bread or a light pasta salad. For a heartier meal, consider serving them alongside grilled chicken or fish. A chilled glass of lemonade or a crisp white wine would complement the fresh flavors perfectly, making for a refreshing summer meal.
