Antipasto Skewers are a super easy to make appetizer that are perfect for any party, picnic, or potluck. Double the recipe to feed a crowd.

As the holiday season gets into full swing, I am up early to get a jump on the day. Our first guests are arriving today ~ Yea!! My refrigerator is overflowing with every food imaginable after two HUGE hauls from the grocery store. I vow to not go back and fight the crowds. Even if I forgot to pick up something up, I will make do. One appetizer, snack, nibble that I will have on hand for our visiting guests will be my delicious Antipasto Skewers.

The ingredients in the appetizer 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.

• 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

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!

Chef cooking 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.

Make the antipasto skewers in advance

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