Caprese skewers with balsamic

Caprese skewers with balsamic are a fresh Italian classic on a handy little stick. Sweet cherry tomato, creamy mini mozzarella and a fragrant basil leaf come together, finished with a splash of balsamic glaze and a hint of olive oil. The result is a festive snack that tastes both fresh and deliciously sweet on the tongue.

In Phase 2 of a protein diet, there's room for a little healthy carbohydrates, and these caprese skewers fit in perfectly. The mozzarella delivers high-quality protein that contributes to your satisfaction and supports your muscles, whilst the tomato provides fresh, light carbohydrates and plenty of flavour. That combination of protein and a modest amount of carbohydrates makes it a high-protein snack that aligns with the balanced build-up of this phase.

Lovely with some rocket, a few olives or a thin slice of Parma ham alongside for a more generous snack. Also delicious as a colourful starter or as a fresh addition to a salad.

Zo maak je het

  1. Thread a cherry tomato, a folded basil leaf and a mozzarella ball onto each stick.
  2. Arrange the sticks on a serving platter.
  3. Drizzle with the olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  4. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Bewaren

Insert the cocktail sticks just before serving and drizzle the balsamic only at the last moment, so everything stays fresh. Store the ready-made ones covered in the fridge for a maximum of one day.

Variatietips

Replace the cherry tomato with sweet pomodori or add a cube of melon for a sweet twist. A pinch of black pepper or some finely grated lemon zest takes the flavour even further.
