If you’re a fan of Caprese salad, you know how your mouth waters at the very sound of freshly sliced mozzarella and tomatoes with sweet basil. Lather them up with a little balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and salt and it's heaven on a plate. Mmm, mmm, mmm.
But while we all love Caprese, the team at Monterey wanted to put a spin on Italy’s famous trio. First off, we had to add mushrooms— it’s what we do! We chose our Marinated Mushrooms for their rich Italian flavor. We also swapped the basil for fresh rosemary to use the sprigs as creative “skewers.” Not only are these herb sticks decorative, but the bold rosemary flavor really pops. Lastly, we decided to take this typical cold salad and grill it. Nothing like a little heat to bring out the savory flavor of that balsamic glaze.
Arguably the easiest kebab recipe in our recipe library, this one’s a quick project— perfect for busy cookouts. If you think you may have impatient guests, start here with a grilled Caprese kebab appetizer.
*Purchase jars of our Marinated Mushrooms at participating Sam’s Clubs near you. Don’t live near one of those grocers? Make your own by following our Marinated Mushrooms Home Canning recipe or substitute fresh whole mushrooms with our Monte’s Mushroom Marinade.
From small family gatherings to big summer cookouts, make as many or as few skewers as you prefer by doubling or tripling the recipe.

I love produce and mushrooms in particular! I started at Monterey Mushrooms in 2010 working in quality assurance and food safety. In 2013, I participated in a year-long grower training program to learn the art and science of growing mushrooms. I spent the next year growing mushrooms, and after the honeymoon phase was over, I realized my real passion was marketing. Mushrooms are one of the most difficult crops to grow, yet one of the easiest to use. I love cooking with mushrooms and teaching other people how to cook with them too. I’m a DIY, home improvement, gardening and landscaping fanatic! I find it rewarding to transform my home into my own personal refuge. I enjoy waking up to an indoor cycling ride while watching the morning news; and in the evening I find it gratifying to unwind with yoga.
