Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare 8 wooden skewers by positioning them vertically on a clean surface or platter. Rinse and dry all the fresh produce to maintain color and taste.
  2. Begin threading the antipasto ingredients onto each skewer in an alternating pattern. Ensure the skewers are visually appealing and sturdy.
  3. In a small jar, combine Dijon mustard, minced garlic, honey, and salt. Add olive oil, pepper, and chopped herbs. Shake vigorously until mixed.
  4. Drizzle the herb vinaigrette over the skewers before serving and allow them to sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes to enhance flavors.
