Mini caprese skewers are a delightful Italian appetizer that originated in the Campania region. This dish is a modern twist on the classic caprese salad, featuring cherry tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and basil leaves, all skewered together for a convenient and elegant presentation. Renowned chefs like Giada De Laurentiis have popularized this dish, making it a staple at upscale events and restaurants.

Whether served as a light appetizer or a colorful addition to a charcuterie board, mini caprese skewers are a delightful and visually appealing dish that captures the essence of Italian cuisine.
