Notes
These skewers are best served fresh but can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
If assembling in advance, store the skewers in the fridge and drizzle with balsamic reduction just before serving.
Consider adding variations such as salami, prosciutto, tortellini, or fried gnocchi for different flavors.
