Tomato Mozzarella Skewers with Pesto Sauce

This recipe is a variation of the famous Caprese salad. The tender taste of mozzarella cheese combined with delicious pesto, and fresh cherry tomatoes, results in a wonderful and mouth-watering combination. These appetizers can also be a great decoration for your dinner table. I found this recipe here. 

Pesto Sauce with Walnuts

This delicious sauce comes from Italy. I’ve read that it is over 200 years old and it is one of the most popular sauces in the world. The classic version of pesto sauce is made from olive oil, basil leaves, pine nuts, and grated hard cheese. However, nowadays there are many variations to the original recipe, and therefore, I decided to try out pesto sauce with walnuts. You can also replace, for example basil leaves with parsley, arugula, spinach, or even mint. In Sicily, they don’t even use nuts, but tomatos instead.    

Any variation of pesto sauce goes well with pasta, ravioli or rice. You can even use this sauce on a toast. 

Without further ado, let’s make pesto sauce!
