Appetizers don’t get much easier than these 4-ingredient Caprese Bites!
Need a quick and easy appetizer for a summer party? I’ve got just the thing. These Caprese Bites are seasonal, fresh and are sure to go fast at your next gathering. And who doesn’t love eating with their hands?
My spin on a Italian Caprese salad includes sweet grape tomatoes, fresh and creamy mozzarella and a pesto-coated cheese tortellini. Certainly not 100% traditional, but I love the flavor combination, and it’s super fast to pull together.
Assembling these Caprese Bites is a fantastic job to give to guests who are always asking what they can do to help. But if you’re short on time and don’t want to fuss with threading the ingredients onto the skewers, you could easily toss the pesto, tortellini, mozzarella and tomatoes in a bowl and enjoy a rock star pasta salad.
