Grab your skewers and start threading the ingredients in this sequence: grape, prosciutto, gouda, and then a little arugula. Keep repeating until the skewer is filled!

Why This Recipe Works

Quick & Easy

This quick and easy snack comes together in under 15 minutes! It’s the perfect solution when you’re running short on time. Seriously, you can whip these up faster than it takes to make a sandwich!

Customizable

The beauty of these skewers is they are customizable. Use whatever ingredients you have in your pantry or fridge. Try different cheeses or meats based on your family’s preference. It’s really about what tastes good to you!

Kid-Friendly

These skewers are kid-friendly, made for small hands and easy bites. My kids LOVE picking out their own combinations. Plus, they’re placing their own food on sticks, which is always fun!

Minimal Cleanup

Since this recipe requires no cooking, the cleanup is minimal. Just a few skewers and a platter to wash, easy-peasy!

Perfect for Meal Prep

These skewers can easily be made ahead of time. Just assemble them up to a day in advance, and they’ll be ready to go whenever you are a perfect solution for busy days.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serving Suggestions

These skewers are perfect on their own, but they make a great pair with some crackers, hummus, or even a simple salad! You could even serve them at parties, barbecues, or just as an appetizer before dinner.

Storage

If you happen to have any leftovers (which rarely happens in my house!), you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Just keep in mind that the arugula might get a little wilty, but the flavors will still be there!

Reheating Instructions

Honestly, there’s no need to reheat these. They’re best served cold, so just take them out of the fridge when you’re ready to eat! But if you’d like to warm them up, a quick few seconds in the microwave should be fine, just not too long or you’ll melt the cheese, and we don’t want that!

Freezer Friendly

I wouldn’t recommend freezing them as the textures may change and you never want a soggy skewer. Make them fresh when you can!

So there you have it! Quick, easy, and delicious Cheese and Grape Skewers that your family will love. Whenever you need a snack or a light meal, just remember this recipe. It’s bound to become a tried-and-true favorite in your household!

Now, go on make them, snack on them, and enjoy! And don’t forget to make them pretty because we eat with our eyes first, right? Happy cooking! For more Recipes Follow Us in our Pinterest.
