1. In this case, cherry tomatoes or small tomatoes work best, as homemade canapés on skewers look nicer when cut in half. If you like, you can put the tomatoes in the oven and roast them.

2. You can use absolutely any cheese—hard or soft. Hard cheese can be cut into any shape you like—cubes or diamonds, for example. This recipe uses mozzarella, which should be cut into pieces about the size of half a tomato.

4. How to make canapés on skewers more piquant? Prepare a dressing that will complement the appetizer and bring out the flavor of all the ingredients used. In a small bowl, combine olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, you can also add 1 clove of garlic passed through a press. Mix everything thoroughly until the dressing is smooth and uniform.
