FRESH CAPRESE VEGETABLE KABOBS

Fresh Caprese Vegetable Kabobs image

This is a beautiful appetizer dish or side dish. It's great for potlucks and it always gets lots of compliments. The key is to use the freshest of ingredients. I buy the fresh basil and tomatoes from my farmer's market or (if it's winter) our local fresh market. NOTE: If you can't find little cherry sized mozzarella, you can buy the large sized balls and cut them into bite sized pieces.

These are quick and easy to prepare, and a fun way to eat vegetables- our kids love them! We like to put the kabobs on the grill, which we do a lot of in summer to keep from heating up the kitchen. - Suzanne McKinley, Lyons, Georgia
