Tomato, Mozzarella and Basil Skewers

This is so easy, and yummy too! It's a great appetizer to take to a party, or don't use the toothpicks and make a salad instead.

Grab some fancy toothpicks and the ingredients listed above. Simply  put a tomato, a basil leaf and a ball of fresh mozzarella on each toothpick and arrange on a serving platter. Dust with fresh ground black pepper. Sometimes I drizzle a little olive oil or balsamic vinegar over them too. Just be careful not to use too much. Balsamic vinegar has a very strong flavor.
