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.
Drizzled with a balsamic reductions glaze (don’t let that scare you-it’s so easy!), these skewers are absolutely bursting with flavor!
So, grab a kid or two and have fun assembling these. Then enjoy all the simple, fresh flavors as you celebrate that spring has returned.
