These Caprese Salad Skewers come together quickly with minimal effort. The most technical part is reducing the balsamic vinegar into a glaze, but even that takes just a few minutes of simmering. Follow these simple steps for a beautiful appetizer that will impress your guests.

For a variation, try adding small cubes of crusty bread to the skewers for a bruschetta-inspired twist. You can also substitute the balsamic glaze with pesto for a different flavor profile. These skewers are perfect for summer gatherings when tomatoes and basil are at their peak freshness.
