DIRECTIONS:

-Slice soy mozzarella into 50-100 (or however many you think your dinner party will call for) 1" x 1" x 1/4" squares. Place them on a beautiful platter in a way that would make me proud!
-Chop sun-dried tomatoes into fourths and place one upon each soy square.
-Tear (or cut) fresh basil leaves into quarter-sized pieces. Lay one piece atop each tomato-clad square.
-Drizzle E.V.O.O. lightly over the platter.

-For garnish/variation, add a pitted olive to each toothpick!
