Antipasto Skewers
These Antipasto Skewers are loaded with briny olives, tangy pepperoncini, crunchy cornichons, and tender marinated artichoke hearts. They are the ultimate no-cook party appetizer, which means you’ll spend almost zero time in the kitchen and almost all your time enjoying your guests.

With jarred ingredients doing most of the work, this comes together in just fifteen minutes flat, and you can prep it up to a day ahead so the flavors have time to mingle. The combination of briny, tangy, and savory bites means there’s something for everyone, and the colorful spread looks absolutely stunning on any party platter.
Helpful Tips
- Marinate ahead for best flavor: If you have the time, let everything sit together in the fridge for up to 24 hours before skewering, so the flavors have a chance to really meld.
- Drain your jarred ingredients well: Excess liquid can water down the Italian dressing and make the skewers soggy on the platter, so give everything a good shake before combining.
- Mix up your skewer order: Alternating colors and textures as you thread each skewer makes for a much more eye-catching presentation on the platter.
