Having a party? This antipasto skewer recipe is the perfect way to celebrate! I love to serve a selection of fun drinks and snacks at this kind of party, but I don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen. I keep things simple with fun yet elegant appetizers like these antipasto kabobs. They look fancy, but they take just minutes to make, require no cooking, and can be made in advance.

How to make antipasto skewers

This recipe for antipasto skewers couldn’t be any easier – simply purchase your favorite italian meats, cheese and vegetables and thread them onto decorative skewers. That’s all there is to it! I went with kalamata olives, marinated mozzarella balls, artisan salami, green olives, cherry peppers and pepperoncini. Other great choices would be prosciutto, chunks of parmesan or asiago cheese, artichoke hearts or cherry tomatoes.

You want all of your antipasto items to be of a similar size, it makes for a better presentation and is easier to eat that way. I used a small log of salami which I cut into rounds, and I halved the peppers to make them bite sized. I love to serve something fresh along with the antipasto skewers like some sliced veggies as a counterpart to the richness of the salami and cheese.

These antipasto kabobs are sure to be a hit for any occasion, no one can resist meat and cheese on a stick!

        You can make them one day ahead I’d brush them with a tiny bit of olive oil so they don’t dry out.

      These are scrumptious! I added black olives, pickled cauliflower and cherry tomatoes. I pickled, my cauliflower with the juice from pepperoncini, I started 6 months earlier in the fridge.

      These are so perfect. Marinated mozz was a little too pricey, so I just got regular and then let it sit a while in vinaigrette.

      Gave an Oscar Party last year..the ladies walked the Red Carpet (red felt, doubled sided tape to secure to side walk) then buffet table had lots of crystals and the colors were Black and White.
      Found old movie reel at Thrift shop and that was on the table also…planning for the coming year already..making photo kit props and then bringing back the red carpet.
