5.0/5 (3 reviews)

A beautiful and tasty way to use the widely available fresh mozarella balls. I use homemade Pesto, but you can find it in jars in the Gourmet section. Arranged on toothpicks, these bite-size appetizers are festive and colorful.

Ingredients

8 ounces mozzarella cheese, in balls
16 cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup pesto sauce (in jars, available in Gourmet section)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
olive
fresh basil leaf

Instructions

Mix pesto, olive oil, salt and pepper.
Place drained mozzarella balls in a ziplock bag and add pesto mixture.
Gently squeeze things around in the bag so that all the balls are nicely coated.
Place a coated mozzarella ball and a cherry tomato on each toothpick.
To serve, arrange them in a circle on platter and garnish with olives or with fresh basil leaves.
