Creating antipasto skewers is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Wash and cut all vegetables and cheese into bite-sized pieces.
2. Soak Skewers (if using wooden ones): If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water for about 30 minutes to prevent burning.
3. Start Skewering: Begin by threading a cherry tomato onto the skewer.
4. Add Cheese: Follow the tomato with a mozzarella ball.
5. Layer the Meats: Add a slice of salami or pepperoni next.
6. Include Vegetables: Thread a piece of bell pepper onto the skewer.
7. Add Olives: Follow with an olive, then another piece of cheese.
8. Repeat as Desired: Continue layering ingredients, leaving some space at the bottom for easy handling.
9. Finish with a Basil Leaf: Add a fresh basil leaf at the end for flavor and presentation.
10. Season and Drizzle: Once assembled, drizzle with balsamic glaze and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

These steps will guide you in creating your antipasto skewers effortlessly.
