- Fresh basil leaves x10
- 1/4 cup Balsamic vinegar or olive oil

Instructions
- Wash the cherry tomatoes, and obtain some fresh washed basil leaves.
- If you do not have small round mozzarella balls then cut them to a small size.
- Reduce the balsamic vinegar in a hot pan, then simmering until it thickens. To a syrup like consistency. To test its done, it will stick to the back of the spoon.
- With a toothpick Firstly stick the toothpick in the mozzarella ball then add on the basil leaf and lastly the fresh rip red cherry tomato. Try getting the toothpick in the middle of the tomato so it can stand up. All nicely in the middle for a pleasing look.
- Place the reduced balsamic vinegar in a bowl for dipping. Other suggestion is to drizzle the balsamic vinegar on the slate or plate so that only a little is used on each skewer. Only add the balsamic just before serving if you going to drizzle it on the plate.
- On a good serving slate place the mini toothpick caprese salad skewers nicely and obtainable for the people to take one and add some dipping sauce or not.
Notes
Alternative to using balsamic vinegar, try using olive oil and salt and pepper. Or Italian dressings, and even apple cider vinegar and red wine vinegar with a little sugar or honey for sweetness. Even soy sauce.
