Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Cut cheese and large vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Pat dry marinated items to avoid sogginess.

2. Rinse and dry cherry tomatoes and basil leaves.

3. Thread ingredients onto skewers, alternating for color and texture. Example order: tomato, basil, cheese, salami, olive, pepper, artichoke.

4. Arrange completed skewers on a serving platter.

5. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

6. Drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving, if using.

7. Serve cold or at room temperature after a short rest for best flavor.

Notes

Let the skewers chill so flavors meld beautifully.

Patting ingredients dry helps everything stay crisp and hold.

Try swapping in mini mozzarella balls or prosciutto for variation.
