Panzanella Skewers with Mozzarella, Tomato and Focaccia Bread are a fun twist on a classic salad. The dish originates from Tuscany, where it is often served as a refreshing summer side dish or starter. The skewers are perfect for outdoor grilling and summer entertaining. The combination of fresh, juicy tomatoes, tangy mozzarella, and crispy, chewy focaccia bread is a match made in heaven. The skewers are then drizzled with a bright and flavorful basil pesto that adds a hint of freshness to the rich and creamy mozzarella and tomato flavors.

Instructions

2.	Cut the focaccia bread into bite-sized cubes, then thread them onto each skewer, alternating with slices of mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

4.	Transfer the skewers to a serving dish, then drizzle the basil pesto over the top. Serve immediately.
