Skewer up a no-fuss appetizer spread with three simple combinations that are equal parts fun and flavorful. Sweet and salty, fresh and savory, these easy appetizer sticks are perfect for summer entertaining, happy hour, or whenever you need a no-cook snack board in minutes.
Preparation
STEP 1
Gather small skewers or appetizer picks and prepare all ingredients as directed. Cut larger ingredients into bite-sized pieces for easy assembly.
STEP 2
Assemble the skewers:
Feta & Melon: Thread watermelon, feta, and cucumber onto skewers. Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and, if desired, a sprinkle of Tajín or a drizzle of honey.
Peach & Prosciutto: Fold prosciutto and thread onto skewers with peach slices, mozzarella, and basil leaves. Drizzle lightly with balsamic glaze before serving.
Salame & Cheddar: Fold salame and thread onto skewers with cheddar, cornichons, and green olives. Serve with mustard for dipping, if desired.
STEP 3
Arrange the appetizer sticks on a platter and serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving.
Options
Swap cantaloupe or honeydew for the watermelon.
Use soppressata or pepperoni in place of the salame.
Turn these into a DIY appetizer board by setting out the ingredients and letting guests build their own combinations.
