    I have made this recipe using grape tomatoes and tiny mozzarella balls and it was delicious, but be sure the tomatoes are crisp and fresh, because the ones I used were not, and that squishy taste was not good. It may be better to use large, firm chopped tomatoes. - 12/30/13

    This salad was good but I would cut the cheese into smaller bites. I made this as an appetizer and it was hard to mingle while trying to chew that bite of cheese. - 12/30/13

    I use cherry tomatoes and fresh mozzarella balls. These can also be skewered after marinating in the oil and balsamic. - 5/1/14

    I made 16 of them, most people ate 3 at a time, so plan for several recipes of this snack. Sort of a silly idea though. Cuter than the taste. - 6/16/14

    This looks easy and fun. I have put the same ingredients, but used tiny tomatoes and the small balls of mozzarella, on a toothpick for an appetizer. They are colorful, healthy and delicious. - 6/16/14

    Beautiful adaptation of a caprese salad. Easy to eat, nutritious, festive and colorful. So many party appetizers are junk food but this is so fresh tasting and light. Loved it. Stuck a frilly appetizer pick down into each for serving. - 5/11/16

    All good ideas above but my idea is just to serve it with a large pick which makes everything much easier to eat. - 12/29/20

    The only thing I would do different is use skewers instead of toothpicks. I think this recipe is soooo cute! OK...maybe one more thing different...How about some green bell pepper too? Thank you!

    I agree that the pieces need to be smaller than shown in the photo. Otherwise you get a bite of tomato followed by a bite of cheese, rather than both in the same bite. - 12/29/17
