# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They come together in fifteen minutes, leaving you actual time to get dressed and enjoy your own party.
  • Fresh mozzarella and basil taste like summer no matter what season it is, and that never gets old.
02 -
  • Pat your tomatoes completely dry or the moisture will make the mozzarella slip and your skewer becomes unstable—I learned this the hard way at Sarah's shower when one fell right into someone's lap.
  • Assemble these no more than two hours before serving; the tomato juice will eventually soften the basil and weep into everything if you make them too far ahead.
03 -
  • Buy your mozzarella balls the day-of if you can; they taste noticeably fresher and hold their shape better than ones that have been sitting.
  • Chill your serving platter in the fridge for ten minutes before you arrange the skewers—this keeps everything cool and fresh looking for longer.
