INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 24 long cocktail toothpicks
  • 48 cherry or grape tomatoes, rinsed and dried
  • 6 thin slices prosciutto, each cut into quarters
  • 24 bite-size marinated mozzarella balls*
  • 24 fresh basil leaves
  • 1/4 cup Italian salad dressing

DIRECTIONS

  1. Thread each toothpick with: one tomato, 1/4 of a slice of prosciutto folded into a small square, one mozzarella ball, one basil leaf (folded if it is large), and one more tomato.
  2. Arrange appetizers on a serving platter. Drizzle with your favorite Italian salad dressing.

FOOTNOTE

  • *If marinated mozzarella is not available, you can make your own. Buy bite-size plain mozzarella balls, or cut large fresh mozzarella balls into bite-size cubes. Marinate in olive oil, minced garlic, chopped basil, plain or flavored vinegar, and Italian seasoning for several hours before assembling the appetizers.
