Antipasto Skewers

From thehungryhousewife.com

1 7-12oz box of uncooked Cheese Tortellini
1 can Medium pitted Black Olives
1 10oz jar Queen Green Olives
1 container of Bel Gioioso fresh mozzarella pearls
1/4 lb thinly sliced salami
1 small container of pepperoni or (1) 7oz pepperoni stick, sliced thin
1 small bottle (less than 16oz) Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
1 small package medium size skewers
1 small package of grape tomatoes

1. Cook tortellini as directed on package.

2. While cooking, cut salami slices in half - making it a half circle. Practice folding the slice in half twice - making it a thin triangular shape.

3. Once tortellini is cooked, rinse, and put into a large gallon Ziploc bag. Add salad dressing to the bag. Close bag tightly and shake very well. Marinade for a few hours (I marinated them overnight and they turned out well).

4. When ready to prepare, drain black olives, green olives, and mozzarella pearls.

5. Add to each Skewer a black olive, tomato, pepperoni slice, mozzarella pearl, green olive, folded salami, and tortellini, as desired. Repeat until ingredients are gone.

6. Place finished skewers into an air tight container and pour over left over dressing (from Ziploc bag). Keep skewers tightly closed and refrigerated until ready to serve.

Makes enough for 6-10 people. I made these for my dad's birthday party and they were fantastic!
