Print Recipe

These antipasto skewers combine salty salami, creamy mozzarella, tangy olives, and fresh veggies for a quick, fuss-free appetizer perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces thinly sliced salami (preferably Genoa)
  • 8 ounces mozzarella pearls (bocconcini)
  • 1 cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved if large
  • 1 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves or arugula
  • ½ cup mini pepperoncini or mild pickled peppers (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 4–6 inch wooden skewers, soaked in water for 10 minutes

Instructions

  1. Rinse cherry tomatoes and basil leaves; pat dry with paper towels. Slice salami into bite-sized pieces if not pre-sliced thinly.
  2. On each skewer, thread one folded piece of salami, one mozzarella pearl, one cherry tomato, one Kalamata olive, and one basil or arugula leaf. Repeat until skewer is full but not overcrowded (4-5 items per skewer).
  3. Arrange finished skewers on a serving platter, spacing them slightly apart.
  4. Right before serving, drizzle extra virgin olive oil lightly over the skewers and sprinkle with fresh cracked black pepper. Add sea salt flakes if desired.
  5. Serve skewers fresh at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

Use good-quality salami like Fiorucci or Boar’s Head for best flavor. Keep mozzarella at room temperature for creaminess. Assemble skewers a few hours ahead but add olive oil and pepper just before serving to keep fresh. If grilling, soak skewers and keep heat moderate to avoid melting cheese too fast.
