Give a classic caprese appetizer a meaty twist by adding Italian prosciutto. This appetizer will be a hit at your party. Slices of mozzarella are wrapped in paper-thin strips of prosciutto and grilled until crispy and gooey in the center. Arrange the wrapped mozzarella on a serving platter in the traditional manner, alternating with tomato slices. Top the caprese with sliced ​​cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves, and drizzle with the dressing. A perfect Italian wine pairing that captivates with its combination of flavors.
