Instructions

1
In a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the balsamic vinegar to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook for about 10 minutes, until the liquid thickens into a syrup and the volume is reduced by half. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
2
Wash and dry the tomatoes and basil leaves. If the basil leaves are very large, halve or fold them.
3
In a small bowl, toss the mini mozzarella balls with olive oil, salt and pepper. This step ensures every bite is full of flavor.
4
Onto each wooden skewer, thread the ingredients in the following order: a tomato, a folded basil leaf, and a mozzarella ball. Repeat as desired.
5
Arrange the skewers on a serving plate and drizzle with the prepared balsamic reduction just before serving.

Nutritional benefits

This meal helps protect cells from oxidative stress, as tomatoes combined with healthy fats from olive oil increase the absorption of the antioxidant lycopene.
