Ok, this is beginning to be repetitive but I was THRILLED with my assignment this month. I have been lucky enough to visit Passthesushi a few times and knew that I would be spoiled for choice for recipes that I was dying to make.
Passthesushi is the blog version of Kita who is my kind of girl, rockin’ an apron (that she makes and sells at her totally fun Etsy shop) and a die hard Top Gear fan. How could you not fall for this enthusiastic, cat-loving girl? Visit her and visit her OFTEN.
C’mon, she’s adorable
Here’s what I finally whittled it down to.
We’re big on appetizers for dinner on Friday nights so Caprese sticks the only thing that I changed was to make them mini. Why mess with perfection? I think that I love these so much because they are instant. As in, I could actually make these in the car on the way to someone’s house that I promised to bring an appetizer but instantly forgot.
I simply got a pint of cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves and boccacini (fresh mozzarella balls found in the deli section and stored in water).
Pour a simple vinaigrette over the top and let sit for a few minutes. Prepare self for unparalleled compliments on your skills as a; wife, mother, general great person.
Remember to check out as many of the other fantabulous recipes that are being shared through SRC as possible.

Thanks for the kind words and knowing what Top Gear is! We must spread the Top Gear love in the states. I miss these little appetizers and haven't made them since summer when my basil plant let out on me. This makes me want to have them again. 😀
I love Top Gear, I even record it so I don't miss an episode! Caprese anything is delicious and beautiful!
What a great blog you got for SRC. You picked a wonderful recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Great idea!! I'd never heard of caprese salad until I started blogging. Yours are perfect for an appetizer
Brilliant Idea.. YUM.. I think i'm going to steal this for dinner this week.. : )) LOVE it..
I love this idea! I've wanted to do it for a while but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I saw a version recently that added a cooked tortellini to the mix and I love that idea too! Great choice and thanks for stopping by my blog (:
Yum…great choice! I love how festive these are for the holiday, and the flavor comb is great. I made something similar for a dinner party this summer, and it was a great hit! Love your blog…
Yum! Caprese salad is my favorite so I will have to try these mini sticks. I will definitely have to link up next week!Thanks for stopping by!
I love Kita's site to. This appetizer looks awesome!
I had to laugh when I saw the reference to Top Gear! My hubby watches that show all the time! 🙂 Love the simplicity of these delicious sounding appy's! Thanks for sharing.
Gorgeous! A perfect appetizer too!!
Great recipe from a great site! Kita has some awesome recipes to choose from. I love how you made these mini. So perfect as an appetizer! (And you've got a really wonderful blog, too!)
Quick and easy, my kinda appetizer 🙂
Jane, I'm cracking up…"in the car"?? I thought I was the only one who did things like that! My husband will ask me, why are you running around making something when you could be like everyone else and just BUY something???!! I can't help it, something inside of me has to make it a little homemade. I actually have made these same beauties when we had cherry tomatoes coming out of our ears. They look so fancy and really like you took so much time. Gotta love that kind of recipe!! http://fromchapelhilltochickenville.blogspot.com/2010/06/summer-fresh-caprese-salad-appetizer.html
