Antipasto Skewer's
Italian Antipasto Skewer’s. All of the flavors of Italy in a sophisticated finger food.
Italian Antipasto Skewer’s
Serves 4
1 package cheese filled tortellini (from the refrigerated section)
16 jumbo black olives
16 feta stuffed large green olives
1 pint cherry tomatoes
3 oz. dry hard salami cubed
1 cup Italian dressing (or Caesar)
12 wooden skewer’s*
Prepare tortellini according to package instructions. On skewer’s alternately thread tortellini, olives, tomatoes & salami. Place in a large plastic zip lock, pour dressing over & allow it to marinate in the refrigerator for 1-3 hours flipping the bag occasional to evenly distribute marinade. Remove from marinade and serve.
Chef Notes: For simplicity, you may use a quality purchased Italian dressing or Caesar. Though they both give a different mouth feel (the Caesar is creamier) they are both delicious. If you wish to serve this in a bowl as a Antipasto Pasta Salad, then I highly recommend using the Vinaigrette recipe below as it is vibrant & will elevate the overall flavor profile.
Fresh Lemon & Herb Vinaigrette
makes 1 cup
1/3 cup white vinegar
juice & zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp. spicy brown mustard
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cracked pepper
1 tbsp. fresh, chopped Italian herbs (oregano, lemon thyme, rosemary in any combination)
2/3 cup olive oil
Combine first seven ingredients in a small bowl. Slowly in a steady stream, whisk in olive oil until incorporated & emulsified.
