1. Cook the Tortellini:
– Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
2. Prepare the Marinade:
– In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Marinate the Tortellini:
– In a separate bowl, combine the cooked tortellini with half of the marinade. Toss gently to coat and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
4. Assemble the Skewers:
– Take a skewer and start threading the ingredients in the following order: a cherry tomato, a mozzarella ball, a piece of salami, a roasted red pepper slice, a black olive, and a basil leaf. Repeat until the skewer is filled, leaving some space at the ends for handling.
5. Drizzle and Serve:
– Once all the skewers are assembled, drizzle the remaining marinade over the skewers for added flavor. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
