Agreed make skewers, theyre quick, easy and colorful.
Use the medium length skewers, and good heavens NOT toothpicks.
You can load em with all kinds of things,
Black olives, plum or cherry tomatoes, stuffed green olives,
cooked tortellini, celery, cubed cheeses, smoked sausage chunks,
cooked red potatoes, etc.
You can also make fruit skewers...fresh grapes, halved strawberries,
apples, pears, honeydew, pineapple, cherries, kiwi, etc.
And just about any dried fruit as well.
