Prepare Tortellini: Cook the frozen tortellini according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and let them cool completely.
-
-
Prep Ingredients: While the tortellini is cooling, prepare the other ingredients. Start by cutting the block of cheese into small cubes. Also, drain the black and green olives from their jars.
-
Assembly Line: Now, it’s time to assemble the kebabs! Get out a plastic bowl or container to store the kebabs in. On each toothpick, thread 1 tortellini, 1 black olive, 1 cube of cheese, 1 slice of pepperoni (you may need to cut it in half or fold it if it’s too large), and 1 green olive. Feel free to mix up the order of ingredients for a visually appealing presentation!
-
Marinate: Once all the kebabs are assembled, place them neatly in the container. Then, pour Italian dressing generously over all the kebabs, ensuring they are evenly coated. This step adds a burst of flavor and allows the ingredients to marinate beautifully together.
-
Chill Overnight: Cover the container with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the kebabs overnight. This gives the flavors a chance to meld together and intensify, resulting in a mouthwatering appetizer that your guests won’t be able to resist!
-
Serve: When you’re ready to dazzle your guests with these delectable kebabs, simply take them out of the container and arrange them on a pretty platter lined with lettuce leaves. The vibrant colors and irresistible flavors are sure to steal the show at any party! 🌟
