Salami Rose Caprese Skewers

Thin salami slices fold and stack into a rose shape around mozzarella and tomato, a five-minute appetizer that looks like it took a lot longer.

I made these for a Bachelor watch party, roses felt like the perfect (and punny) way to tie into the show.

Additional Tips:

• Customization: Feel free to mix in different types of cured meats or cheeses based on your preference.
