For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a balsamic glaze drizzle just before serving. Use high-quality mozzarella for the best taste and texture. Fresh mozzarella (bocconcini) is highly recommended. If you don't have fresh basil, you can substitute with dried basil, but the flavor won't be as vibrant. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried basil. The marinating step is crucial for enhancing the flavor of the skewers. Don't skip it! Get creative with your presentation! Arrange the skewers on a bed of fresh greens or serve them alongside a balsamic reduction for dipping.
