Notes

Variations

You can add all kinds of other ingredients to these antipasto skewers like artichoke hearts, red peppers, black olives, or pepperoncini peppers.
If you prefer, replace the balsamic vinegar and olive oil with Italian dressing or a balsamic glaze.
If you're super busy, you can make caprese skewers instead with just the fresh mozzarella, fresh basil leaf and grape or cherry tomatoes.
