Step-by-Step Instructions

Begin by gathering your ingredients and an 8-inch wooden skewer. Thread one large green olive, a Genoa salami slice, a mini mozzarella cheese ball, a large basil leaf, a grape tomato, and a cheese tortellini onto the skewer. Repeat this process until all ingredients are used.
In a sealed jar, combine 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard, 1 clove of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of honey, and 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper, along with 1 tablespoon each of chopped chives, basil, and parsley. Seal tightly and shake for 30 seconds until well mixed.
Just before serving, drizzle herb vinaigrette generously over the skewers. Let sit for 15-20 minutes at room temperature to allow flavors to meld.
