Notes
This is a very simple recipe and really can be altered and adjusted to fit your imagination. The numbers are only an idea depending on what your guest number is.
Other variations include Mint / Watermelon / Feta Cheese Cubes, Basil / Salami / Tomato / Mozzarella, Basil / Pepperoni / Mozzarella / Pepperoncini.
Can be made ahead and refrigerated for several hours before serving. However, not too long as the basil will turn dark or black.
The Balsamic Reduction will keep for up to 3 months if kept in an airtight container.
