Antipasto Skewers
These antipasto skewers are the ultimate no-recipe recipe—fresh, flavorful, and completely customizable. There’s no exact measuring here—just grab your favorite gluten-free ingredients and build each skewer to your liking. Perfect for entertaining, snacking, or an easy appetizer that looks impressive with minimal effort.
Layer a mix of meats, cheeses, veggies, and olives onto skewers—whatever sounds good, goes. I love to add the gluten free Tortelloni that I find at Whole Foods and Costco. Other favorites are salami, mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes, olives, artichokes, or cucumbers. I love to pull from marinated jars like mushrooms, artichoke, pickled beets and olives. Repeat your favorites, mix it up, and keep going until you have as many skewers as you need.
Add some dry Italian seasoning if you are in a pinch or use fresh thyme. Finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze (optional), and serve chilled or at room temperature.
Pro tip: Always double check labels on meats, cheeses, and marinated items to ensure they’re gluten-free and safe from cross contact. My family loves the Paisley Farms jarred items and use them often, but there are several brands out there.
No rules, no stress—just assemble, serve, and enjoy!
