Pro Tips
- Thread the ingredients in an alternating pattern so every skewer gets a little of everything — briny, creamy, meaty, and sharp in each bite.
- Pat marinated ingredients dry slightly before skewering, or the oil will make the finished kebabs slippery to handle.
- Balance each skewer with one soft element (mozzarella, artichoke) against one firm one (olives, salami) so the textures play off each other.
- Assemble them up to a day ahead and refrigerate covered — they're ideal make-ahead party food.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far ahead can I make antipasto kebabs?
Up to 24 hours ahead. Keep them covered in the fridge and let them sit out 15 minutes before serving so the flavors open up.
Are they a snack or a meal?
Based on your appetite, these work as snacks or as a light lunch — the salami and mozzarella make them surprisingly substantial.
Can I customize the skewers?
Absolutely — any antipasto ingredient that threads onto a skewer works. Keep the mix of olives, tomatoes, marinated vegetables, and cured meat for balance.
What should I serve with them?
They're perfect as part of an appetizer spread, with extra pepperoncinis on the side for anyone who wants more heat.
