How to Make Antipasto Skewers
- Begin by threading one of each ingredient—large green olive, halved Genoa salami, mini mozzarella ball, basil leaf, grape tomato, cooked cheese tortellini, and large black olive—onto 8 wooden skewers, each about 7 inches long.
- In a sealed jar, blend together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs. Shake vigorously until well combined and smooth.
- Just before serving, lightly drizzle your vinaigrette over the assembled skewers to enhance their flavors and keep your ingredients fresh.
Notes
Use the freshest ingredients to enhance flavor and texture. Assemble no more than 24 hours before serving to maintain freshness. Allow skewers to rest at room temperature for optimal flavor mingling.
