Cutesy Caprese
It's Sunset magazine's idea, again, and a good one because even after the big tomatoes are finished for the season, often one still has producing cherry tomato plants.You can toss them in a bowl with the small fresh mozzarella ciliegini and basil leaves, or you can thread them like this onto skewers and splash them with vinaigrette.
I fell for the presentation but the taste whisked me back into summer, a bonus!

How pretty! And excellent way to serve them as an appetizer.
Whoa, somebody's... PLATING!
Very nice. Why shouldn't life be a joy?
That's a beautiful idea, and tasty too.
Cute. I usually just toss it all together in a bowl but now...
Kitt, thanks, and thanks to Sunset.
Cookiecrumb, I got that plate at Kamei and we love it - use it all the time!
Morgan, yes, especially the tasty part!
Dagny, I fell for the cuteness, too.
ooh, those look both lovely and delicious!
Anna, yes, they were!
I had this idea (too late for this summer) to make a caprese "martini" appetizer with tomato water, ciliegini on a stick, and basil oil all served in a chilled martini glass. It'll have to wait until next Summer out here, but you could still do it.
Peter, that sounds pretty and, yes, still possible out here.
