Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the mini cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until they float to the surface and are tender. Once cooked, drain them well and let them cool to room temperature.
- While the tortellini cools, cut your chosen cheese into 1/2-inch cubes for even distribution on your skewers.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled tortellini, cheese cubes, assorted cured meats, cherry tomatoes, and any marinated vegetables. Drizzle with Italian dressing, using just enough to coat all the ingredients evenly. Toss gently.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably up to 24 hours to enhance the flavors.
- Once marinated, assemble your skewers by alternating tortellini, cheese, meat, and cherry tomatoes until filled.
- Arrange the skewers on a serving platter and serve immediately or chill until your guests arrive.
