Melon And Prosciutto Skewers With Marinated Artichokes
Isn’t food more fun when it’s eaten off of a skewer?! These Melon And Prosciutto Skewers With Marinated Artichokes are the perfect little nibble to make that everyone will love!
I created this recipe for Lake Country Journal: a publication out of northern Minnesota that featured this and another recipe along with an article I wrote regarding “Aprés Boating“.
You may be familiar with the term Aprés when talking about the post-skiing fun that happens in the winter months. I talk more about it in this article! Essentially, Aprés Boating is the activity that occurs after a long day on the water, and you come back thirsty and hungry for a little snack.
These skewers are the perfect Aprés Boat Bite! Read on to learn all about them.

What To Serve With These Après Boat Bites
As I mention in my series kickoff all about Après Boating, the whole concept is all about enjoying simple snacks and sips after a long day on the water. And presumably right before dinner. That being said, no need to go overboard here. Grab a few easy and light additions to these skewers for a nice little pre-supper spread:
- Mixed nuts (my Chipotle & Rosemary Roasted Nuts are packed with flavor and so delicious!)
- Olives and pickles
- Grapes or sliced watermelon
- Various crudités
