preview for Antipasto Bites = Easiest Part App EVER

We can't get get enough of the varied flavors and textures of an antipasto spread (see our antipasto squares and antipasto salad for proof). But, this bite-size appetizer just might be our favorite way to enjoy all of the fresh, sharp flavors all in one bite. This easy appetizer—or satisfying midday snack—is perfect to serve up at any fancy dinner party or festive celebration. Make-ahead friendly and completely customizable, this versatile app adds a boost of fresh flavor to any spread it's served at.

What should I add to my skewers?

These skewers are completely customizable—feel free to experiment with them! We went with many of the classic components: mozzarella, salami, red peppers, artichoke hearts, and even cheesy tortellini. If you're not a fan of something, feel totally free to replace it with something else! Not an olives lover? Pepperoncini peppers would be a delicious substitute; tomatoes are always a welcome addition to any antipasto spread. If salami isn't your thing, feel free to replace it with buttery prosciutto instead.

Really want to take this over the top? Give these skewers a drizzle of balsamic for a stunning final touch.

Can I make these vegetarian?

Absolutely! If you're serving vegetarian guests, simply leave off the salami, and replace with any veggie (or extra mozzarella 😏) your heart desires.

Can I make these ahead of time?

These skewers are a great make-ahead appetizer to prepare the night or morning before your upcoming party. Assemble your skewers, then refrigerate until you're ready to serve.
