Make your green skewers by layering a green olive, artichoke heart quarter, basil leaf, and another olive.
In the bottom of each cup, pour in one Tablespoon of basil pesto on one side, and one Tablespoon of sun-dried tomato vinaigrette on the other side.
Place your skewers in the cup in the order of green, white, red. One of each color in each cup.
