Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Cooking Time: No cook time
Yield: Serves 6-8
Ingredients
24 fresh basil leaves
24 cherry tomatoes
24 small mozzarella balls
2 cups extra virgin olive oil
200mg of CBD oil (consult with a healthcare provider for appropriate dosage)
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
24 wooden skewers

Instructions
- Begin by infusing your olive oil. In a glass jar, combine the extra virgin olive oil with the CBD oil. Close the lid and shake passionately until everything is well blended and then sit for 60 to 90 minutes.
- While the oil is infusing, prepare your skewers. Start with a cherry tomato, followed by a fresh basil leaf (folded in half if large), then a mozzarella ball. Repeat the sequence once more and finish with a final cherry tomato.
- Arrange your prepared skewers on a large platter.
- Shake the CBD-infused olive oil once more, then carefully drizzle it over the skewers. Try to ensure each skewer gets a fair share of the drizzle.
- Season your skewers with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Finally, squeeze the lemon gently over the skewers.
- Let the skewers rest for 10 minutes before serving.
