Ingredients
12 slices salami
12 cheddar cheese cubes
12 mozzarella balls
12 baby dill pickles
12 cherry tomatoes
6 rosemary sprigs (optional)
12 green or black olives
12 small cheese stars or star-shaped crackers
Instructions
1. Cut cheddar cheese into cubes, rinse cherry tomatoes, drain pickles and olives, and prep salami slices for folding.
2. Begin assembling skewers: start with a cube of cheddar or mozzarella as the base.
3. Fold salami into quarters or halves, and layer with pickles, tomatoes, and olives to form a tree shape.
4. Top each skewer with a cheese star or mini festive cracker.
5. Insert a rosemary sprig between layers or at the bottom (optional).
6. Chill skewers in the fridge until ready to serve. Display upright in a cone or flat on a platter.
Notes
These skewers can be prepped up to 2 days in advance.
Avoid adding the cracker or cheese star until just before serving to prevent sogginess.
Use a cone wrapped in foil or a foam base to display them upright like a tree centerpiece.
