Avocado, Tomato, Mozzarella Skewers     

Ingredients:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp kosher or sea salt
1 Avocado
1/2 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
8 ounces baby mozzarella balls (bocconcini size) sliced into 3 pieces
16 ( 6-inches long) bamboo skewers

Preparation:
Vinaigrette: In a small glass jar, or mason jar, pour the vinegar and the oils, sprinkle in the salt. Close the lid of the jar and shake it vigorously. Leave in the refrigerator, if it wont be used within the hour. It may be kept there for a couple weeks. Shake well before using.

Skewers: Cut each avocado half cut into thirds, then each third sliced horizontally into 5 or 6 pieces. Insert the top of a mozzarella ball, followed by a slice of avocado, half of a tomato, an avocado slice, the other tomato half, followed by another slice of avocado, and a slice of mozzarella ball. Repeat with all skewers, and place all the completed skewers on a platter.

Serve: Shake the vinaigrette and pour into a bowl. Serve along with the assembled skewers
