Balsamic-Glazed Caprese Skewers with Ciliegine

Refine the classic Caprese salad with individual skewers of alternating cherry tomatoes, milky Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Ciliegine, and basil leaves drizzled with olive oil and balsamic reduction. The dairy cheese pairs wonderfully with the acidity of the tomato and vinegar.
