Ingredients

1 - 9 ounce package of cheese tortellini
1 - 12 ounce fresh mozzarella cheese balls
1 - 16 ounce jar of olives {I like the pimento stuffed}
1 - 16 ounce jar of kalamata olives
4 ounce of salami
3 ounce of roasted red peppers
2 cups of cherry tomatoes
1 cup of fresh basil
1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
1/4 cup fresh green onions chopped

FOR THE DRESSING

2 teaspoons honey
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tsps balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon fresh parsley oregano, basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Cook the tortellini according to the package.
While the tortellini cooks lay out your ingredients and get the skewers and a large cutting board ready.
Once the tortellini is done cooking let cool.
To prepare the skewers start with a cherry tomato, followed by the green and kalamata olives, tortellini, roasted red peppers, basil, mozzarella, tortellini, two more olives and another tomato. Repeat this for each skewer.
In a mason jar combine the honey, olive oil, balsamic, fresh herbs, salt and pepper and mix well.
Drizzle the dressing over the skewers and sprinkle more fresh herbs.
Serve or store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

You can use any of your favorite ingredients like artichokes, banana peppers, pepperoncinis, pepperoni, prosciutto and any type of olives.
I like the dressing drizzled over the skewers but they also taste great without that or you could use a balsamic glaze and drizzle that over the skewers.
