How to Make Antipasto Skewers Easy And Perfect For Picnics
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Cook 1 package (9 ounces) cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain well and rinse with cold water to cool completely.
- Thread cooked tortellini, cherry tomatoes (1 pint), fresh mozzarella balls (8 ounces), salami slices (4 ounces), and green olives (1/2 cup) onto skewers, alternating ingredients as desired.
- Place skewers in a large airtight container. Pour the dressing over the skewers, ensuring they are well coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, shaking occasionally.
- Before serving, drizzle additional balsamic vinegar over the skewers, if desired, to taste.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
