Summer potlucks are amongst us which means so are the quick and easy summertime recipes. I have actually been making these for years now and I figured it was high time to share the recipe with you.

Caprese salad is my absolute favorite. I love how easy and how fresh it is. The juicy pop of tomato, the creamy mozzarella and the fresh basil pair with a reduced balsamic glaze for an absolute outstanding bite.

WHY IS IT CALLED CAPRESE SALAD?

It originates from the Isle of Capri.

HOW LONG CAN CAPRESE KABOBS LAST IN THE FRIDGE?
