Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients for the Charcuterie Skewers. Cut the cheddar cheese into small, bite-sized cubes and halve the salami slices. Slice the mini dill pickles into rounds and separate fresh basil leaves. Arrange these prepared items on a clean cutting board.
  2. Take your bamboo skewers and begin threading the ingredients in your desired order. A recommended combination could be cherry tomato, salami, basil leaf, dill pickle, and cheddar cheese. Aim to leave a bit of space at each end for easy handling.
  3. Once all your Charcuterie Skewers are assembled, carefully place them on a serving platter, ensuring they are standing up or laid down neatly.
  4. Before serving, drizzle the assembled skewers with balsamic glaze. The dark, glossy glaze will complement the bright colors of the ingredients.
  5. Present your delicious Charcuterie Skewers to your guests encouraging them to customize their selections.
