Time 20m

Yield 12 skewers

Number Of Ingredients 12

24 rounds thick-cut salami
8 jarred roasted red peppers, cut into twenty-four 1-inch ribbons
24 cheese tortellini
12 mini mozzarella balls
12 cherry or grape tomatoes
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup fresh parsley, torn
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

For the skewers: Slide a salami round on the end of a 6-inch wooden skewer. Follow with a roasted red pepper ribbon, folded back on top of itself. Top with a cheese tortellini. Repeat, then finish with a mozzarella ball and tomato at the pointy end of the skewer. (Each skewer gets 2 salami rounds, 2 pepper ribbons, 2 tortellini, 1 mozzarella ball and 1 tomato). Repeat with the remaining skewers.
For the creamy Italian dip: Whisk together the mayo, buttermilk, Parmesan, parsley, Italian seasoning, granulated garlic and some salt and pepper in a bowl and serve with the skewers.
