I was looking for appetizer recipes a few days ago and found these on Southern Living's website...they looked fun and easy so I couldn't wait to try them. These were super simple and perfect for spring....we had a crawfish boil today with Kevin's family and I made these for a little appetizer....we finished them all! The recipe called for fresh mozarella balls...the only ones I could find were in the special cheese section, and I opted for the marinated/seasoned ones...they were great! These are pretty much all the things that make a caprese salad....just on a stick...how convienient?
