Ingredients
Ingredients
- 16 oz cheese tortellini refrigerated or frozen
- 1 tbsp olive oil for tossing tortellini
- 16 slices salami, folded into quarters
- 16 small mozzarella balls (bocconcini or ciliegine)
- 16 cherry tomatoes
- 16 fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 cup Italian dressing for drizzling
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cheese tortellini according to package directions until tender.
- Drain the tortellini and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking. Let cool completely.
- Fold the salami slices into quarters.
- While the tortellini cools, prepare the mozzarella balls, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves.
- Thread each skewer in this order: one piece of tortellini, one folded salami piece, one mozzarella ball, one cherry tomato, and one basil leaf.
- Repeat until all skewers are assembled, about 16 skewers total.
- Arrange the skewers on a serving platter.
- Drizzle with Italian dressing right before serving. Serve immediately or refrigerate covered for up to 4 hours.
Notes
Cool the tortellini completely before assembling so the other ingredients don't get soft. Don't drizzle dressing until right before serving if prepping ahead. Marinate tortellini in dressing for 30 minutes for extra flavor.
