Ingredients
Antipasto Skewers
- 12 wooden skewers or toothpicks
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 12 small mozzarella balls (bocconcini)
- 12 slices of salami or pepperoni (folded)
- 12 olives (green or black)
- Fresh basil leaves (optional)
- Balsamic glaze for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the skewers: Gather all the ingredients and the wooden skewers or toothpicks to start assembling your antipasto skewers.
- Assemble the ingredients: On each skewer, thread one cherry tomato, followed by a mozzarella ball, then a folded slice of salami or pepperoni, an olive, and finish with a fresh basil leaf if using.
- Repeat assembly: Continue threading the ingredients on the remaining skewers until all are assembled and all ingredients are used.
- Arrange for serving: Place the completed skewers neatly on a serving platter, ready to be enjoyed.
- Add finishing touch: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the skewers for an optional sweet and tangy flavor enhancement, then serve immediately to enjoy fresh.
Notes
- Use wooden skewers or toothpicks to make the assembly effortless and convenient for guests to pick up.
- Substitute salami or pepperoni with prosciutto or chorizo for different flavor profiles.
- The balsamic glaze adds a nice sweetness but can be omitted if you prefer a lighter appetizer.
- Keep the skewers refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain freshness.
- You can customize olives according to preference, such as stuffed or plain olives.
