Stick 'Em Up: Antipasti Skewers

These easy antipasto skewers will wow any party.

There’s nothing better to serve when entertaining than a great big antipasto platter, crammed full of delicious salumi, cheese, and pickled and roasted vegetables. But they’re not always the most convenient to transport, and all that arranging can be time-consuming when you’ve got other party prep on your plate.

Enter these antipasto skewers, which combine all those fabulous flavors in an easy-to-eat package. They’re endlessly customizable – make a set of meatless skewers with different cheeses, olives, and roasted red pepper for vegetarians, or just salami and cheese for picky kids – and are easier to hold in one hand than a plate of snacks, perfect for a standup cocktail party. They also make a brilliantly over-the-top garnish for bloody marys! Best of all, they can be made ahead of time and are easily transported to the BBQ, beach, or wherever else the fun is happening.
