Delicious Potato Salad (my mother-in-law's recipe)

Yumm...When I tried it for the first time, I think I ate 2 plates and I wanted more...it is so good that I couldn't resist and asked my mom-in-law for the recipe...
I just wanted to say - Thank you so much Anna for giving me this recipe and for letting me post it in my blog!
So, here is it...

8 medium potatoes (pot boiled)
1 onion minced
 1 bunch of green onion
5 boiled eggs +1 for garnish
Mayonaize ( to taste)
salt and pepper (to taste)
stalk of celery
1 tsp parsley flackes
Paprika on top

Well, everything is pretty simple, cut and chop everyting above, mix with the mayo and top with paprika and a hard boiled egg.
1 awesome advice - make it a day before you serve it, let it sit in the fridge overnight...you will see...so delicious!!!!

Caprese skewers

Insalata Caprese is a simply prepared Italian salad made from vine-ripened tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, fresh basil, and olive oil. I took it on the next level...
30 grape or cherry tomatoes
30 fresh basil leaves
4 ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese, cut into 30 (1/2-inch) cubes
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Thread tomatoes, basil leaves, and mozzarella cheese cubes alternately onto 10 (6-inch) wooden skewers. Place skewers on a serving platter.Combine vinegar and oil in a small bowl; stir well with a whisk. Drizzle vinegar mixture evenly over skewers, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve immediately, or cover and chill until ready to serve.
