Expert Tips For Nailing This Kebob

• Keep Ingredients Balanced: Make sure to balance the flavors of salty meats with creamy cheeses, tangy olives, and fresh veggies. This creates a well-rounded flavor profile in each bite.

Variations

• Mediterranean-inspired Kabobs - Swap pepperoni for slices of grilled chicken, add feta cheese cubes, and cucumber chunks, and drizzle with tzatziki sauce.
• Surf and Turf Kabobs - Alternate slices of cooked shrimp and steak cubes with cherry tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, and fresh basil leaves for a hearty option.
• Veggie Lover's Kabobs - Skewer grape tomatoes, marinated artichoke hearts, roasted bell peppers, and cucumber slices instead of cheese and cured meat slices.

Storage Instructions

• Storage: While best served fresh, you can store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just be aware that the antipasto skewers may become soggy, so it's best to remove the ingredients from the skewers before storing them.

What To Serve With Kabobs?

• Marinated Vegetables: Pair the antipasto kabobs with a refreshing platter of marinated vegetables drizzled with olive oil salad dressing, making it a perfect party appetizer.
• Cheese Tortellini: Serve the antipasto kebabs alongside cooked creamy instant pot tortellini for a satisfying and flavorful side dish.
• Caprese Salad: Pair the antipasto kabobs with a refreshing Caprese Salad drizzled with Italian dressing for a classic Italian-inspired accompaniment.
• Instant Pot Puttanesca Pasta: Prepare a batch of flavorful Instant Pot puttanesca pasta, loaded with tomatoes, olives, capers, and anchovies, to complement the bold flavors of the antipasto kabobs.
