    Antipasto Skewers

    Start the meal off with a flavour packed antipasto appetizer skewer consisting of meat, olives, pickles, cheese, roasted vegetables and fresh basil to wake up the appetite! They are extremely simple to assemble, and you can make them in advance leaving you more time to mingle with your guests.

    They are elegant enough to serve at an intimate dinner party, during the holiday season and do not forget game day! Everyone loves food on a stick!

    Antipasto Skewers Ingredients

    When purchasing the ingredients, always opt for high-quality ingredients from a deli counter or jarred. Nothing worse that taking a bite of an olive from a can to ruin the entire skewer!

    • Roasted red peppers, in oil
    • Bocconcini mini balls
    • Stuffed green mammoth olives 
    • Pitted Kalamata olives 
    • Small pickled pepperoncini peppers
    • Grilled button mushrooms, in oil
    • Spicy salami
    • Grape or cherry tomatoes 
    • Fresh basil
