Ingredients




12 cherry tomatoes (stems removed) (I used heirloom tomatoes that I found at Trader
12 bocconcini (mini mozzarella balls)
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning mix
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
Coarse sea salt
16 tall wooden skewers

Preparation

1 With a sharp knife, remove the top 1/4 inch of each tomato. 2 Place one tomato and one bocconcini on each skewer.  3 In a bowl, combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, and parsley. Drizzle a little over each skewer. Sprinkle with a little salt. 4 For the most eye-catching presentation, stand the lollipops in tall glasses. (I put black rice inside my glass to help stabilize the lollipops.)
