Caprese Skewers

These 10-minute Caprese Skewers are the ultimate no-cook appetizer for when you want to look fancy with zero effort. We’re stacking juicy tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and aromatic basil with salty ribbons of prosciutto for a "double-stack" of flavor in every bite. Drizzle with a thick balsamic glaze for a fresh, low-carb starter that disappears fast!
