There are several reasons why this recipe is so good. This caprese tortellini skewer is not only easy to make, requiring very little effort, it’s also super easy to pick up and eat while milling around at a party.

Helpful Tips

• Follow the package directions to prepare your tortellini. But don’t boil it for too long, to avoid it becoming too soft or opening up too much. It only takes about 2 minutes for fresh tortellini to cook.
• Look for the little mozzarella balls called Ciliegine mozzarella (these are the small cherry-sized ones). They should be close in size to your cherry tomatoes.
• If you purchased a large block of mozzarella instead of balls, try to make them the same size as that of your tomatoes.
• Don’t skip the salt! Mozzarella often doesn’t have much salt added and it really needs some to bring out the flavor.
• You can use a different type of dressing, like balsamic vinaigrette or a balsamic drizzle.
