These Antipasto skewers take a little time to assemble, but the visual effect is so worth it. Anytime you would like to serve an amazing appetizer or a game day finger food, this is one of our top suggestions.
I started assembling them in a specific order and then just went with it, each one is a little different. My basil garden is really producing right now so this was a great way to enjoy all that lovely basil.
