Need a super easy summertime appetizer? These tasty caprese pasta skewers are so simple to throw together! The only time consuming part of making this dish is assembling the skewers.
I used my Favorite Salad Dressing recipe to drizzle on top of the skewers, then drizzled with Fresh Basil infused olive oil. This is a fun recipe to get kids involved, they love threading the items onto the sticks.
Caprese pasta skewers are a great last-minute appetizer. You don’t have to spend a lot of time in the kitchen to make a good impression at your next summer gathering!
