It’s a simple app that brings together the classic combination of juicy cherry tomatoes and creamy mozzarella balls, enhanced with the refreshing choice of either basil or mint leaves. Plus, these skewers provide a berry delicious twist—I’ve incorporated plump blueberries or blackberries for an extra burst of flavor and fun. The balsamic glaze is optional, but in my opinion, it truly adds next level yum factor.
