Tapas on a skewer

Cut the turkey breast into approximately 1.5 cm pieces. Wrap the dates in the bacon (cut a slice of bacon in half). Then skewer the wrapped dates, alternating with two pieces of turkey breast. Distribute them on 8 wooden skewers. Combine the olive oil, paprika, sea salt, and honey in a small bowl and brush the skewers with it. Set aside. Prepare the vinaigrette. Dress the salad with the vinaigrette and let stand. Then sear the skewers in a preheated grill pan brushed with a little olive oil. Turn the skewers over (they will be done after about 10-15 minutes). Arrange the salad and skewers on a platter or large plate. Serve with aioli, guacamole, or salsas of your choice.
