Tortellini Caprese Bites
(printable recipe)
Makes 60 skewers~ adapted from Southern Living Recipes
1 (9oz) package refrigerated Cheese Filled Tortellini
3 cups halved Grape Tomatoes
24 oz. Fresh Small Mozzarella Cheese Balls
60 (6") Wooden Skewers
Basil Vinaigrette
1/2 cup White Balsamic Vinegar

2/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Whisk together the vinegar and salt. Gradually add oil in a slow, steady stream, whisking until smooth. Stir in basil and fresh ground pepper to taste. Set aside.
Cook tortellini according to package directions. Cut grape tomatoes in half.
Thread 1 tomato half, 1 cheese ball, (I used Ciliegine size) another tomato half, and 1 tortellini onto each skewer. Place skewers in a dish, like a 13x9 inch baking dish. Pour vinaigrette over skewers to coat. Cover and chill for 2 hours.
