Ingredients
- 12 red seedless grapes
- 12 green seedless grapes
- 12-24 arugula leaves (end of stem removed)
- 12 1/2 inch cubes of Gouda cheese (or sub in preferred cheese)
- 3 slices of prosciutto, cut into quarters
- 4-5 inch long wooden appetizer toothpicks
Optional
- Balsamic glaze
Instructions
- Wash the grapes and gently pat them dry. Thread one red grape onto a skewer so that there’s a bit of space left at the top of the toothpick.
- Next, fold 1-2 pieces of arugula in half and thread them on the skewer beneath the red grape.
- Skewer one cube of cheese and slide it underneath the arugula.
- Folder one small piece of prosciutto and slide it onto the skewer beneath the cheese cube.
- Finally, slide on a green grape beneath the prosciutto.
- Repeat pattern with the remaining skewers. Before serving, drizzle with a bit of balsamic glaze, if desired.
Notes
- If you can't find the wooden skewers in store near you, they are pretty easy to find online.
- Feel free to replace the grapes with other seasonal fruits! For the winter, they're great with pear and apple cubes, but you can also use pitted cherries, dried apricots, cherry tomatoes, and more.
