On the skewers, place an olive, tomato, basil, tortellini, salami, cheese, then add the same things backward. Place the skewers on a plate and brush it with more dressing.

What is the Best Mozzarella for Antipasto?
When I make these antipasto skewers, I like to use mozzarella pearls. I find that these go on the skewers the best and work together the best with this recipe.
What Veggies Can I Add to Antipasto?
I like to use cherry tomatoes and olives on these skewers. If you have other vegetables you like, you can add things like cucumbers and red onions as well.
Can I Make These Skewers Ahead of Time?
You can make these skewers ahead and place them in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them. The skewers can be made up to a day ahead. If making them ahead, wait to spread the dressing over the skewers until right before serving.
