Antipasto Skewers
This Holiday Season may look a little different, but just because you are celebrating with a Micro-Christmas Dinner, it does not mean it cannot be festive and incredibly delicious!
Start the meal with a flavour packed appetizer of antipasto skewers to wake up the appetite… and since you can make the skewers in advance, you will get to sit and enjoy them with your loved ones.

- 10 bocconcini balls (cherry sized)
