Recipe Notes:
- If you have any leftover ingredients when making these Antipasto Skewers, consider using them in another antipasto recipe such as these Antipasti Bites.
- If using basil leaves for this recipe is out of budget for you (they can be expensive!) then consider using baby spinach instead. Alternatively, make your basil leaves stretch for you by cutting them in half.
- Another tasty idea is to drizzle these skewers with a small amount of balsamic glaze just prior to serving.

- Double the ingredient quantities if you are feeding a larger crowd. Similarly, halve the ingredients if needed.
