- 24 small basil leaves
- 2 roasted bell peppers, sliced (or 1 jar)
- 1 jar artichoke hearts
- ½ pound fresh tortellini, cooked

Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Cook the fresh tortellini according to package instructions, then drain and cool. Slice the roasted bell peppers if not pre-sliced from a jar. Cut the salami slices in half.
- Assemble Skewers: Using 3-inch bamboo skewers, thread the ingredients in this order: start with a mini mozzarella ball, followed by a slice of roasted bell pepper, a cooked tortellini piece, a small basil leaf, an artichoke heart, a half piece of salami, and finish with an olive.
- Chill the Skewers: Arrange the finished skewers on a tray or platter and refrigerate until ready to serve. This helps the flavors meld and keeps everything fresh.
- Serve or Store: These skewers can be made up to a day in advance and kept chilled. Plan for about 2 to 3 skewers per guest. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days.
