Why This Recipe

If you're looking for the quickest and easiest no-cook appetizer for your party, antipasto caprese skewers are the way to go. You can make these in less than 10 minutes. If you're using a bunch of fresh tomatoes, you could also add a Traditional Panzanella Salador EASY Ricotta Bruschettato the table!

Plus, you can interchange your favorite antipasto ingredients so that your guests will love them. Make some with and without olives, and everyone will love it. Or serve it with some grilled skewered dishes like Spicy Chipotle Chicken Skewers.

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Salami. Get whatever meat you use, cut it pretty thin so you can fold it, and it's not too thick. That can be off-putting. You can substitute pepperoni, prosciutto, sopressata, or any other cured meats.
• Mozzarella pearls. I get the seasoned mozzarella pearls. I love the bit of spice it gives. You substitute provolone or fontina.
• Balsamic Glaze. This can easily be made at home by simmering balsamic vinegar until it thickens. I find it to be a slow and annoying process, so I'm willing to buy the glaze.
• Olives. I love Castelvetrano olives, but you can substitute your favorite, whether it's kalamata or manzanilla.
• Cherry Tomatoes. Grape tomatoes are an easy substitute, but you definitely need some kind of tomatoes on the skewers.

How to Make Antipasto Caprese Skewers

Step 1: Load your skewers equally with all the ingredients. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 2: When you're ready to serve, drizzle them with the balsamic glaze and serve.

Serve these for a family party or get-together with your favorite Italian appetizers like Chicken Parm Sliders, Eggplant Caponata, or Easy Italian Stuffed Artichokes!

Pro-Tips

1. Add 1 pepperoncini per skewer. They're a little spicy and they're great to start or end with. 
2. Load the skewers with meat if you want to make this more filling.
3. Prepare a day in advance.
4. Don't drizzle with balsamic glaze until you're ready to serve. 

Recipe FAQs

How far in advance can these caprese skewers be made?

1 day maximum. The mozzarella will begin to dry out as soon as you take it out of the liquid it comes in and place it in the fridge.

What kind of sauce is best for caprese skewers?

I like balsamic glaze or a Pistachio Pesto. I like to stick with cold herby sauces for this or a fruity glaze.
