Tasty Italian Style Skewers for your weekend party.
I love using skewers for appetizers for several reasons.
1. They are fun to prepare and if you have kids they will love to help you make them
2. Your guests can easily grab them and you don’t have to worry about whether or not they’re putting their fingers in everybody else’s food
3. They don’t require any silverware for your guests to eat them
4. They’re colorful and make an attractive display on your table
I have made these Italian Style Skewers very often and they’re always a hit. I usually will make half of them with the salami around the cheese and the other half without the salami.
I’ve list of the ingredients only seen you can make as many or as few as you need for your party. It’s better to make them in advance to develop more flavor from the dressing, plus it saves you time on the day of your event. I know you’ll love this Healthy Weekend Appetizer! #hwa
