WHAT IS ANTIPASTO?

Antipasto means “before the meal” in Italian. So you can pretty much go with anything here.

Traditionally antipasto is platters of food with various combinations of the following:

Breads that have been prepared with fresh herbs and oils, along with dips and spreads.

Boiled Eggs, Fish, Cured Meat, Olives, and Preserved Vegetables can all be used.

Vegetables are also very common. You can use whatever you have on hand that is in the height of the season.

Remember, antipasto is only an appetizer, you don’t want to fill your guests up with too much before the main meal, but you also want to serve something that will compliment it well.
