Antipasto Skewers



In keeping with an Italian theme for David's birthday, I decided to make Antipasto Skewers for an appetizer.  I was originally going to do a tray of Antipasto, but that seemed  like it would be a little difficult for a lot of people to eat.  So I came up with the idea of making Antipasto Skewers.  I thought this would be a really easy and semi healthy appetizer.  

So here is the recipe for Antipasto Skewers

Ingredients:

1 containers small fresh mozzarella
1 container small fresh marinated mozzarella
1 jar marinated artichoke crowns ( cut in half)
2 jars marinated artichoke hearts
1 large jar garlic stuffed olives
1 jar hearts of palm cut into 1/2 inch pieces
40 pieces of dry Italian salami  ( I used gallo )
1 container each of red and yellow tomatoes
1 package wooden skewers

Directions:

Slide 1 piece of mozzarella, 1 red tomato tomato,1 piece of artichoke crown, 1 olive,1 piece hearts of palm , 1 piece of salami folded into quarters, 1 piece of marinated artichoke heart, 1 yellow tomato, and 1 piece of marinated mozzarella.

I made some without meat for vegetarians, and some without cheese for my husband who is allergic to cheese.

This makes approximately 35 pieces.  I made between 2 pieces per person.

Isn't that an easy and healthy appetizer?  I thought so too.  Let me know what you think. I always love hearing from you.

Enjoy!!!

  1. Isn't it difficult when one's husband is allergic to cheese and you can't get enough of it? Actually my Peter was allergic to the lactose content, but liked the flavour - so it became a forbidden "fruit" for "special" occasions. Now he's not with me, can indulge, but still find myself treating it as a "special" occasion thing. Habit of 43 years do linger, I'm finding!

    1. Hi Isobel,
      It can be a challenge. Especially because I love cheese. You must miss Peter a lot. How long were you married.
      Have a great week.

      They were good. They didn't take long to make. I am also a throw it in the pot kind of girl, but it was a special occasion. Have a great day and thanks for visiting.
