It was easy to make, colorful and tasty. Not much more than that. One guest described it as "salad on a stick". Thanks for the recipe, Kraft.

I took it to work and everyone loved it. I did not use basil. I used regular red and yellow peppers (not roasted). I added olives and pepper jack cheese.

Easy to fix, looks colorful and appealing. Geat way to use the cherry tomato and basil harvest from our garden. I made some with yellow pear tomatoes for a contrast and varied the cheeses.
