Assemble the skewers by threading onto the skewer: one grape tomato, followed by 1 basil leaf, followed by a piece of cheese. Repeat process 3 times to complete the skewer, and repeat full process for additional skewer. Drizzle the prepared skewers with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar.

Steps:

• Cut roasted red peppers into 16 large pieces. Starting at the edge of a serving platter, place a slice of tomato, a basil leaf, a slice of mozzarella cheese, a piece of roasted pepper, and another basil leaf. Continue in that pattern, forming a spiral from the outside in, until all the ingredients have been arranged; salad should end in the center of the platter. Drizzle the salad with olive oil and sprinkle with black pepper and black olives.
