Savor the Summer: Rainbow Caprese Skewers Recipe

Today’s Culinary Inspiration: Summer Solstice Celebration

As the sun reaches its peak on the longest day of the year, I am inspired to create a dish that captures the vibrant flavors and colors of summer. Today, I am excited to share with you my recipe for Rainbow Caprese Skewers – a playful twist on the classic Italian salad, perfect for any summer celebration.

Ingredients:

• cherry tomatoes (200g)
• fresh mozzarella balls (200g)
• basil leaves (50g)
• blackberries (100g)
• yellow bell pepper, diced (100g)
• purple cabbage, thinly sliced (100g)
• balsamic glaze, for drizzling
• salt and pepper, to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• skewers
• knife
• cutting board
• small bowls

To start, thread the cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, basil leaves, blackberries, diced yellow bell pepper, and thinly sliced purple cabbage onto the skewers in a colorful, alternating pattern. Arrange the Rainbow Caprese Skewers on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic glaze. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

The vibrant colors and fresh flavors of the Rainbow Caprese Skewers make them a perfect dish for summer gatherings. The sweet juiciness of the tomatoes, the creamy richness of the mozzarella, and the peppery bite of the basil come together in a delightful burst of flavor with every bite. The blackberries add a surprising touch of sweetness, while the purple cabbage lends a mild crunch.

Once assembled, the Rainbow Caprese Skewers weigh approximately 800g. This recipe makes 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 200g. Each serving contains approximately 150 calories.

One clever tip to elevate this dish is to marinate the mozzarella balls in a mixture of olive oil, lemon zest, and fresh herbs before threading them onto the skewers. This adds an extra layer of flavor to the dish and infuses the mozzarella with a refreshing citrusy brightness.

I hope you give these Rainbow Caprese Skewers a try at your next summer gathering. Feel free to mix and match with your favorite ingredients to create your own colorful variations. Enjoy the flavors of summer with this fun and festive dish!
