Let’s talk about antipasto!

Antipasto can literally be translated to “before the meal.” It’s typically a course served as an appetizer or first course for a formal meal, more specifically for an Italian meal. You’ll see a variety of ingredients served for antipasto, and this is because different regions of Italy were known for different ingredients. Some common antipasto ingredients include cheeses, cured meats, mushrooms, olives, peppers, and other vegetables. Often antipasto is served family style on a large serving board or platter. It’s also often served at room temperature, which is why you’ll often see cured, grilled, marinated, or pickled foods as part of an antipasto platter. Depending on the region of Italy where the antipasto originated, you’ll see a variety of cured meats, and both soft and hard cheeses. Some other common foods served as antipasto include anchovies, artichoke hearts, capers, eggplant, and tomatoes.

Some other great alternatives include using plain green olives or Kalamata olives. For the salami, you’ll want to read nutritional labels to ensure there is no added sugar or other ingredients you don’t want in your meat. You can also substitute with pepperoni or even prosciutto if you’d like. For cheese, I used a block of mozzarella and cut it into 24 evenly shaped pieces.
