I think you’re going to love these caprese skewers. I make them ahead of time for camping and days when we’re out on my parents’ boat. They’re so easy to make, and healthy too.

Caprese Skewers - Perfect for a picnic, boating or camping!

All you need are cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil and toothpicks. If you’ve ever had a caprese salad, you know how well these flavors work together, especially when tomatoes are in season. I just can’t wait for the tomatoes in our garden to ripen so I can make these.
