One of my coworkers made caprese salad for our Christmas potluck a couple of weeks ago and the flavors were so vibrant, it tasted like summertime. I wanted to do a finger food for New Years in the same theme. So, I went to the Poot...Caputos for those who aren't local or listen to stories about "the boy". Tomatoes don't really have great flavor this time of year but I was hoping to get lucky.
I used grape tomatoes, fresh basil, and fresh mozzarella (orrichette shaped). I used party picks bought at Party City that are about 3 inches long with little plastic streamer type things on the top but any party picks will do. Cheese, basil, tomato, basil, cheese, basil, tomato is how I threaded each pick. You can eat them plain or drizzle with some balsamic.
I was pleased with the flavor considering it is the middle of winter...can't wait to see how they taste during summer!
