1 pt. grape tomatoes
1 pint fresh small mozzarella cheese balls, rinsed & drained
wooden toothpicks
5 large fresh basil leaves, cut into very fine strips
4 tablespoons light balsamic vinaigrette
salt
pepper
Rinse tomatoes well & dry thoroughly. Cut tomatoes in half (not lenghtwise; stem end should be on top of one piece).
Carefully thread 1 tomato half, 1 ball of cheese, and the other tomato half onto a toothpick, leaving a long end on one side & very little pick showing on the other. Place skewers decoratively around a shallow small serving dish; distribute basil evenly over the skewers
Drizzle vinaigrette over skewers; lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Refrigerate at least one hour to allow flavors to meld.
Note: 1 - 8 oz pkg fresh mozzarella cut into 1/2-inch cubes, may be substituted.

Hi,
I'm writing to let you know about a recipe contest that may interest you: the Madison Area CSA Coalition is seeking recipes designed by community members like you for their “Farm-Fresh and Fast” cookbook project. They are looking for original recipes that feature fresh, local produce and are ready to serve in under 60 minutes. (i.e., things that would be good for weeknight meals). If they select your submission(s) for publication, you’ll see your name, and your culinary creation, in print!
The link below has all the details of the contest. Please feel free to submit as many recipes as you wish, or forward the contest to anyone else who may be interested in participating.
Thanks!
Danielle Pacha
PS: If you plan to announce the contest on your blog and you'd like access to any of the contest graphics, please let me know and I'll get them to you.
