If you want to add a worthwhile appetizer to any charcuterie board, then these antipasto salami skewers are a perfect choice! You can prepare these a day in advance to simplify your party planning process, or you can whip them up right before the guests arrive.
The word “antipasto” is derived from the Latin root “anti” meaning “before” and “pastus” which means “meal”. In other words, an antipasto course simply refers to a dish that precedes all others.
Ingredients
24 mini fresh mozzarella balls
24 Willow Creek Olive Estate olives
12 slices of Creekside Farm salami, cut in half
24 small basil leaves
2 roasted bell peppers, sliced (or 1 jar)
1 jar artichoke hearts
½ pound fresh tortellini, cooked
Bamboo skewers
Instructions
- Layer your ingredients starting with the mozzarella balls, then the roasted peppers (I used a mix of red, yellow and orange), tortellini, basil, artichoke heart, salami and olives.
- Line a tray with your finished skewers and refrigerate until serving.
- Make them the night or the morning before and keep chilled. (Leftovers will keep for a few days!)
- Prepare 2-3 skewers per person
Tip
Willow Creek Olive Estate olives are perfectly seasoned and pairs perfectly with mozzarella balls.
