Sun-Dried Tomato Caprese Skewers
Recipe by Giada De Laurentiis
Caprese skewers are a great appetizer, but I like to take it to the next level by using sun-dried tomatoes. They’re so deeply flavorful, and pair perfectly with the bright herbaceous basil and some fresh mozzarella. This appetizer couldn’t be easier to throw together, and everyone always loves it!
