Ingredients

8 ounces Italian style poultry sausage*
8 large basil leaves
12 pitted calamata olives, halved
24 grape tomatoes
24 (6-inch) wooden skewers

Directions

Cook the sausage according to the directions on the package and cut it into 1-inch rounds. Cut the basil leaves lengthwise into thirds.

Put an olive half about 1/3 of the way down onto a skewer. Then add 1 strip of basil, folding so it fits nicely on the skewer. Follow with 1 grape tomato and a round of sausage. Position everything on the end of the skewer so the skewer can stand up on its sausage end.

Showy Wedding Shower Skewers
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Used this idea for a wedding shower where the guests (bridesmaids and mothers) actually prepared the food that was served.... All of the prep work was done and they just assembled the skewers. They loved the colors and the healthy option on the menu. Fun and easy for new chefs. Read more

WOW !!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

What a great recipe. This was very easy to make and looked great on a platter. I made it for a picnic and everybody raved... about the flavor. There was a woman who hates olives and after trying one of these, can't wait to make it for one of her parties. You'll probably be seeing more excellent reviews from the women I gave the recipe to.

Simple but delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I used cheese cubes instead of sausage (as one reviewer suggested) and they turned out wonderfully! So simple to make but... really delicious and they look really pretty on a platter. People at the party were quite impressed -- I didn't bother to point out that it was simply cheese, tomato, olive, and basil :) Read more

Good and Simple
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

This recipe was pretty simple to make and was good. Make sure then sausage is warm because once it gets cold it is not as... good. Read more

I couldn't find fresh basil so used fresh spinach. Not quite as good but did ok in a pinch. Plenty of flavor in the other... ingredients and everyone loved them!!Read more
