For the Skewers
  • 12 pieces Cherry Tomatoes Freshness and sweetness; grape tomatoes can be substituted for a similar flavor.

For the Drizzle
  • 2 tablespoons Balsamic Glaze Can substitute with reduced balsamic vinegar simmered with honey.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil High-quality extra virgin olive oil is best for flavor.

  • 1 teaspoon Flaky Sea Salt Optional but highly recommended for a gourmet touch.
  • 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper Adds an extra layer of flavor to each bite.
