Antipasto Skewers Recipe
Antipasto skewers are one of the easiest Italian appetizers you can put on a table, loaded with cured meats, fresh mozzarella, olives, artichoke hearts, and zesty marinated tortellini all threaded onto a single stick. They come together in about 30 minutes, can be made a full day ahead, and disappear faster than just about anything else on the spread.
Servings: 12 skewers
Equipment
- 12 8-inch wooden skewers
Ingredients
- 24 refrigerated cheese tortellini cooked
- ⅓ cup zesty italian dressing
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 12 pitted Kalamata olives
- 12 pitted green olives
- 12 artichoke hearts (1 can) patted dry
- 12 slices genoa salami
- 24 basil leaves
- 12 mini mozarella pearls marinated (you can also use plain)
- 12 peperoncini peppers
- 12 slices pepperoni
For Garnish Garnish
- chopped fresh parsley and basil
- balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Cook tortellini according to package directions. Drain well and run under cold water to stop cooking. Toss with Italian dressing and let marinate for 1 hour.
- Thread items on skewers alternating colors and textures: Here is how I thread each skewer: tomato, folded salami slice in quarters or rose shape, artichoke heart, basil leaf, tortellini, kalamata olive, mini mozzarella, pepperoncini, tortellini, basil leaf, folded pepperoni slice in quarters or rose shape, and ending with a natural green olive. You can switch up the arrangement if you like.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve or for up to 24 hours.
- For garnish: Sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs and drizzle with the balsamic glaze just before serving.
Notes
Other items you can substitute or swap: This recipe is so versatile that you really can use what you love. Other ideas are spinach leaves, roasted red peppers, cubed cheese, prosciutto, or soppressata.
