Marissa's MediterraneanZesty marinated artichoke hearts and creamy mozzarella pearls skewered with fresh basil for a vibrant, no-fuss appetizer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, dried oregano, and garlic powder to create a quick marinade.
Let the marinade sit for a minute to let the flavors meld.
Add the mozzarella pearls and halved artichoke hearts to the bowl and toss gently to coat. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes.
You can do this up to an hour in advance and keep it in the fridge.
Thread one cherry tomato, one folded basil leaf, one marinated mozzarella pearl, and one artichoke heart onto a small wooden skewer or toothpick.
Keep the ingredients close together so they stay secure on the skewer.
Arrange the skewers on a platter and drizzle with any remaining marinade from the bowl before serving.
A final crack of fresh black pepper adds a lovely touch!
Make sure to use a high-quality, cold-pressed olive oil for the best flavor. If you want a little extra kick, a pinch of red pepper flakes in the marinade works wonders! Serving these with some warm pita bread is always a hit.
