Antipasto Platter
This is Italian freestyle and involves a festive platter, traditional ingredients, and your imagination.
These items are spread on one or two platters and served with a basket of fresh bread.
Recommended components of the best Father’s Day antipasto—use the best that you can find:
- Salume such as sopressata, pepperoni, salami and prosciutto
- Sliced mozzarella or the individual small portions packaged in a tub of salt water
- Roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, mushrooms in oil and vinegar—these can be purchased in jars and cans from Cento or Progresso in any store
- Olives Black, Greek or whatever you choose—pitted of course
- Sliced swiss cheese and provolone
- Sliced ripe tomatoes and sundried to mix in
I like to alternate the sliced cheeses and the salume around the platter, and place the other
items inside using your imagination—the platter is an artist’s palette.
Have good olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and a fig glaze on the side.
To be served on plates from the platter with great sliced bread.
Buon appetito!
