A Fun, Low Carb Appetizer Or Side Dish
I have to say, I’m not a big salad guy at all. I eat plenty of other vegetables, just not in salad form. But I do love an antipasto salad…minus the salad part.
Then I thought about combining antipasto and salad together and putting it on a stick to make it more fun to eat.
Did it work? I think it did. This is the BEST way ever to get your little guys to eat salad, I’m telling you. If it worked on a grown adult, I mean…
Add a homemade dressing for dipping on the side and you’ve got yourself a healthy, low carb recipe worthy of parties. We also make these for a fun, lighter dinner at home during the warmer months when no one feels like cooking.
Salad For Appetizers? Yes.
Heck yes! These Antipasto Salad Kabobs would be a super fun way to serve salad at your next party. This kabob recipe would also double as a side dish for dinner!
All you have to do is grab your favorite meats and cheeses and whatever other antipasto ingredients you like, olives, roasted red peppers…whatever you can think of.
Then I just threaded them on a wooden skewer and put some (some) lettuce leaves on there too. It’s not a LOT of salad, but it counts right?
For parties, you could even set out a bunch of different salad dressings and have a fun, salad kabob bar! I mean, there’s really no other way that salad can be this fun, people.

THESE LOOK AMAZING! ONE QUESTION, THOUGH…HOW DID YOU GET THE SALAMI IN THOSE LITTLE ROUNDS? THANKS! :)
Thank you! I actually just bought them that way, I found them right at the grocery store! Before I found them I was going to do thin slices from the deli, folded then skewered. Either way would be great!
How amazingly clever!
Needed something special to add to Christmas dinner in honor of my Italian father who’ll we’ll dearly miss this year. THANK U Can’t wait to make them.
Your welcome, they are so easy to put together and they look great on a holiday table. Salute to your father, I’m sure he’s missed. Have a great Christmas!
I will definitely include this on the menu for a surprise party scheduled for March. Thank you for sharing.
That sounds great, Tonya – Thanks for stopping by!

Wow Mother’s Day and my mom wants everyone to bring a salad and I dont like salad so this is an easy alternative because I can eat everything else other than the greens.
Can these be made the night before? Unsure if lettuce would hold up nicely.
You’re right Amye, the lettuce won’t really hold up well, especially when it’s put next to the other ingredients. The great part about this recipe though is that it’s fast to put together!
Thank you for sharing!!
This was awesome! Salad in stick. Love the idea :)
Thanks so much!
