Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 7 ounces cheddar cheese, cut into bite-size cubes
  • 24 slices deli salami, thinly sliced
  • 24 pitted olives
  • Optional: pesto for spreading

Instructions

  1. Prepare cheese and salami: Cut the cheddar cheese into bite-sized cubes. Take each slice of deli salami and fold it in half twice to create a compact piece. If using pesto, smear a tiny amount over the salami.
  2. Assemble skewers: Take a cheese cube, top it with the folded salami slice, and then add a pitted olive on top. Secure all three with a toothpick to form a skewer.
  3. Repeat assembly: Continue assembling skewers with the remaining cheese cubes, salami slices, and olives until all ingredients are used.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and enjoy immediately as a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use sharp or aged cheddar cheese.
  • Thinly sliced salami works best for easy folding and layering.
  • Use pitted olives to make assembly easier and more enjoyable.
  • Adding a small amount of pesto is optional but adds a delightful herbal flavor.
