3The Cook
When you’re at temp, put cooking oil on a folded paper towel. Grab the oiled paper towel with long-handled tongs and oil the grate thoroughly.
Grill your skewers for about 4–5 minutes per side. Flip your skewer once char marks have been achieved on the first side. Once charred on both sides, remove your skewers from the grill.
Serve your cheese skewers on top of arugula salad, then remove your tomatoes from the skewers and add them to your salad.
Drizzle your salad and tomatoes with the basil oil, then add a touch of balsamic glaze and enjoy.
