Recipe(tried): Antipasto Kabobs

Antipasto Kabobs

I will try to remember to give you some more when I get home (at work now) but here's an easy make ahead appetizer - my antipasta salad has always been requested whenever I go places and last time I had a party in the evening, I wanted to dress it up a little so I made antipasta kabobs again - they were an even bigger hit than the salad! I purchased the half size skewers (like 5-6") and put on each of them:

A slice of hard salami, folded into a triangle
A slice of deli pepperoni, folded into a triangle
A cube of provolone
Black and green olives
Pieces of tomato (or you can use cherry but they don't absorb the dressing so I don't recommend)
Red onion slice
Two pieces of tortellini or other durable pasta

Dressing:

1/2 c. Olive Oil
1/4 c. Balsamic Vinegar
1 tbsp. Basil
1 tbsp. Oregano
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper

I put the skewers in a large tupperware container and pour the dressing over them and let them marinade overnight or at least for several hours, shaking them up often and sometimes I drizzle a little vinegar before serving depending upon how much dressing was absorbed.
