Tomato, Basil and Mozzarella Skewers

This is a great appetizer I like to start off an Italian feast with. They disappear in no time. These are also great to bring to a pot-luck dinner.

INGREDIENTS
18 cherry tomatoes
18 cubes mozzarella
18 basil leaves
18 toothpicks
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

DIRECTIONS
Skewer 1 cube of cheese, 1 basil leaf and 1 cherry tomato onto each of the toothpicks and place on a serving plate.
Crush the clove of garlic and the salt with a mortar and pestle until you have a paste; mix with the balsamic vinegar and oil.
Drizzle over the skewers and serve.
