Cat Cora's Caprese Skewers with Bloody Mary Vinaigrette

Cat Cora's Caprese Skewers with Bloody Mary Vinaigrette

Here's my twist on the classic tomato salad. When you skewer perfect, flavorful cherry tomatoes and bite-sized mozzarella bocconcini (little balls) and serve them with spicy Bloody Mary Vinaigrette, you get a salad takeoff that is simple, dramatic, delicious and nearly instant.

INGREDIENTS

½ tsp Kosher Salt
½ tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper

2 Celery Hearts (3 Tbsp, finely diced)
32 Fresh Mozzarella Bocconcini
32 Cherry Tomatoes
½ Cup Bloody Mary Mix
2 Tbsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
32 Large Basil Leaves (washed and dried)
8 Wooden Skewers (10-inch)
 

DIRECTIONS

 

For The Vinaigrette

In a medium bowl, whisk together all the ingredients. Refrigerate until you're ready to serve.

For The Skewers

Thread the mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil leaves on the skewers, alternating them and using 4 of each per skewer. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. 

For The Salad

Arrange two skewers on each of four salad plates and drizzle the skewers with the vinaigrette. You can also arrange all the skewers on a big platter and pour the vinaigrette into a small bowl for dipping.


Cat's Note: Some Bloody Mary mixes are saltier and spicier than others; be sure to taste before adding any more salt or pepper.

Chocolate Budino
Chocolate Budino

Budino in Italian means pudding but this is more like a molten cake, moist and almost gooey in the middle when served warm from the oven. I like to serve the budino with a scoop of homemade Banana Chocolate-Chunk Ice Cream (in my cookbook, Cooking From the Hip), but it's also great with creme anglaise and fresh raspberries or strawberries.
