Easy Antipasto Skewers

Easy antipasto skewers are a delicious and easy appetizer to have at any gathering. Filled with cheese, olives, salami, and all the fresh goodness and drizzled with a savory basil vinaigrette!

Listen. I love a good appetizer! Like love love! It is a must-have for any dinner party, friend hang out, or heck - just for dinner for Justin and me. And these easy antipasto skewers are my new fav!

For appetizers I love something that is easy, can be prepped ahead of time, and can be left at room temp to graze for hours.

And these skewers are just that!

We are taking the normal Caprese skewers up a notch by adding Greek kalamata olives, slices of Geonoma salami, and TORTELINNI!

YES! Tortellini! 

Honestly, this is one of the greatest things I have ever done before!

It's drizzled with a super fresh basil vinaigrette that sends it over the edge and compliments the flavors so perfectly! 

So what are we waiting for! Let's make these!

How To Prep Skewers Ahead of Time

I love prepping things ahead of time if I can! 

You can make and assemble these skewers ahead of time. Place on a platter, wrap in plastic wrap and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours. 

Drizzle the vinaigrette on the top right before serving.

The vinegarette can be made up to a week ahead of time. Store in a mason jar and keep in the fridge. This will keep for 1-2 weeks in the fridge. Enjoy other things like salad and grilled meats.

How Long will the Skewers Last?

Leftovers can be kept for a day after serving. Just store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1 day after.
