Ingredients

Caprese Salad Cups Ingredients

  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 12 small mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (torn)
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 12 small plastic or glass cups

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Begin by washing and halving the cherry tomatoes, tearing the fresh basil leaves into bite-sized pieces, and having the mozzarella balls ready for assembly.
  2. Layer the Salad: In each cup, start by adding a few halved cherry tomatoes, followed by one mozzarella ball, and then a torn basil leaf. Continue layering these ingredients until the cup is filled.
  3. Add Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle approximately a teaspoon or so of balsamic glaze over the top of each cup carefully to enhance flavor and presentation.
  4. Season: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over each cup according to your taste preferences.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the Caprese Salad Cups right away as a refreshing, easy-to-eat appetizer to enjoy the freshness at its best.

Notes

  • You can substitute balsamic glaze with a mixture of balsamic vinegar and honey if glaze is unavailable.
  • For added crunch, consider topping with toasted pine nuts or crushed nuts.
  • The salad cups are best served immediately to maintain freshness and texture.
  • If preparing in advance, store components separately and assemble just before serving.
  • Use fresh, high-quality mozzarella for the best creamy texture.
