Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheese and Grape Skewers
  1. Start by washing and thoroughly drying both red and green seedless grapes. Gather your arugula leaves, gouda cheese cubes, and prosciutto slices on a cutting board for easy assembly.
  2. Take a skewer and thread one red grape onto it, leaving about an inch of space at the top.
  3. Fold one or two arugula leaves and carefully thread them onto the skewer beneath the red grape.
  4. Add a cube of gouda cheese below the arugula, gently pressing it down.
  5. Fold a piece of prosciutto and thread it onto the skewer beneath the cheese.
  6. Finally, add a green grape beneath the prosciutto on the skewer.
  7. Arrange them on a serving platter and drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving.
