So today I decided that my girlfriend needed a tasty lunchtime snack because she was quite famished. So I decided to use the Capresi Skewers with a small salad and guacamole.
I won't have an overall recipe with this post since the Capresi Skewers are already mentioned in this blog. The only recipe I will say was new, was the basil sauce used in the Skewers recipe, and by new I mean changed. I changed the recipe to equal parts olive oil and italian caesar dressing plus the basil and herbs mixed in. I sprinkled that on the skewers and salad, and added the guacamole to the side. Enjoy.

Capresi Skewers
Today was a great day to stay inside in the AC out of the Texas heat. So naturally, I turned to the kitchen and created Capresi Skewers. I started off with the Capresi Skewers because I wanted to see how it would turn out. To make this dish you need the following: -wood skewers -cherry/small tomatoes -mozzarella cheese -basil leaves -mix of sage, thyme, and oregano spices -EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) (also a food processor or small blender) In the food processor, I combined the basil leaves, spices, and EVOO...and created a great tasting and smelling sauce. I would say it reminded me almost of pesto, but not quite. On the skewers I alternated tomatoes and chunks of cheese(try to keep them somewhat close in size) and placed them on a plate together. Once I had 2 skewers done, I grabbed the food processor and spooned out the sauce on top of the skewers and poured the rest next to them.
