Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 fresh mozzarella balls ciliegine; drained and patted dry
  • 12 Genoa salami thin slices; about 4 ounces
  • 12 cherry tomatoes washed and dried
  • 12 basil leaves fresh
  • 12 green olives pitted and drained
  • 12 marinated artichoke hearts bite-size pieces; drained and patted dry

Equipment

  • 12 6-inch wooden skewers

Method
 

  1. Thread one mozzarella ball, one salami slice folded into quarters, one cherry tomato, one basil leaf folded in half, one green olive, and one artichoke piece onto each of 12 (6-inch) wooden skewers.
  2. Arrange the skewers on a platter.
  3. Cover the platter.
  4. Refrigerate until serving, up to 4 hours.

Notes

Pat the mozzarella and artichokes dry before threading so the skewers are easier to handle. Refrigerate covered for up to 4 hours; do not freeze. For a vegetarian variation, swap the salami for roasted red pepper.
