Italian Salami Appetizer Kabobs
These bamboo stick appetizers are great looking and simple to put together. Each stick should have five pieces on. You might like to have ham instead of salami. You can also add marinated artichokes to the mix if you want to add something extra.
This salami appetizer is very Italian in style and each bamboo stick is packed with different flavors and textures, making them a real pleasure to eat. These salami appetizers are best served chilled so leave them in the refrigerator an hour before serving. You can add more red pepper flakes for a bit more spice or even a little bit of chili powder. These appetizer kabobs are pretty tasty as they are though.
The garlic, lemon and red pepper infused oil really adds a lot of flavor to the mushrooms and cheese. Marinated mushrooms are great and this marinade also adds flavor to the cubes of cheese. The salami has a lot of taste already and the overall flavor of this delicious cold appetizer recipe is amazing. If you are looking for make ahead recipes, you will enjoy these wonderful Italian salami appetizer kabobs because you can make them up to twenty four hours in advance.
