Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cubed sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 cup cubed green apple
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or olive-oil-based dressing
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Equipment

  • 16 food-safe cocktail picks
  • knife
  • serving platter

Method
 

  1. Wash, drain and prepare all ingredients; fully cook any meat or seafood before assembly and chill it safely.
  2. Arrange cubed sharp cheddar and cubed green apple alternately on 16 short food-safe cocktail picks. Cut large pieces evenly so each pick can be eaten in one or two bites.
  3. Arrange the completed picks on a clean chilled platter. Keep cheese and cut fruit cold until serving.
  4. Whisk olive oil and lemon juice and brush or drizzle lightly over the skewers just before serving.

Notes

  • Use already cooked, ready-to-eat ingredients only; raw meat or seafood does not belong on a no-cook party skewer.
Storage: Refrigerate promptly in a sealed container and serve within 24 hours; discard perishable skewers left on a buffet over 2 hours.
Serving suggestion: Serve on a festive platter.
