why I love antipasto skewers

These tasty appetizer skewers are ridiculously easy to make. Actually the recipe is more of an assembly line than a traditional recipe. Everyone loves the fresh flavors.

This is one of my favorite "recipes" as you can change the ingredients to the ones you love. Try adding cheese tortellini (one of my favorites!), thin slices of pepperoni, blue cheese stuffed green olives, roasted red peppers, fresh basil leaves, and pepper jack cheese cubes. The adaptions are limitless!

appetizer skewers with tomatoes, mozzarella, and artichoke hearts

the ingredients

cherry tomatoes
fresh mozzarella - 1-inch size also known as ciliegine
artichoke hearts - the ones packed in water
black olives - large and without pits
thinly sliced spicy salami
extra virgin olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
chopped fresh basil
finely shredded Parmesan cheese
6-inch bamboo skewers

suggestions and recipe tips

Choose or cut all the ingredients to about the same size.
Use artichoke hearts that are canned and packed in water. The can should be 5-7 count which means it has 5 to 7 artichoke hearts in the can. The hearts are large enough to cut in quarters and the perfect size for the antipasto skewers.
There is no set way to thread the ingredients on the skewers. I am partial to putting all the ingredients on in the same order. But feel free to mix and match the tomatoes, mozzarella, salami, artichoke hearts and olives in a whimsical presentation.

can you make the antipasto skewers in advance?

Most definitely! As an added bonus, make the antipasto skewers up to 6 hours in advance. Just assemble the skewers and put them on a platter. Cover it with plastic wrap and pop them into the refrigerator. No last minute recipe prep for this one!
