Caprese Salad Skewers

As I write this, I’ve got the window open. I can hear birds singing, I see green grass poking through, and I feel a gentle and warm breeze. All of this indicates that SPRING IS HERE!

This delightful weather leaves me in the mood to eat light and fresh. These caprese skewers, with the bright flavors of fresh mozzarella and basil, are just the ticket.
