Pasta Salad Kabobs

Kids enjoy eating this and it is convenient for people to eat at a potluck. it does take time to put this together, but the presentation is lovely.

Cook the cheese tortellini , drain and rinse with cold water.

Put the cooked tortellini , artichoke pieces , tomatoes , olives , broccoli and salami in separate containers.

Add italian dressing to each of the containers and stir to mix.

Let the ingredients marinate for 1 hour.

The salami should marinate in the fridge.

When ready to make up the kabobs , take wooden skewers and thread them with the 6 ingredients.

You can vary what you put on the kabobs to make each one slightly different , or you can make each of them the same.

To put the salami on the skewers , lightly fold each slice in half and then punch the skewer through the meat.

As you finish the kabobs , put them in something like a one-layer cake pan.

Cover the pan and chill in the fridge until serving time.

You can do a similar kind of kabob using different kinds of fruit.
