Notes

⏰ Prepare skewers a few hours ahead but not overnight to prevent olive discoloration.
πŸ§€ Fresh mozzarella pearls provide the best texture but mini bocconcini or string cheese chunks can be used.
🌢️ Substitute red bell pepper with mild chilies, roasted peppers, or pickled jalapeños for a spicier version.
