Antipasto Platter

Submitted by Dee514

"Antipasto is a traditional appetizer, which can also be served as a light meal. In our family its always served on holidays, but I frequently make it for a light weekend supper or when the guys are looking for a snack when watching a game. Please adjust the amounts and ingredients to your preferences and the number of people you are serving."

So simple, yet so impressive. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is having a party. I served some mesclun greens and Recipe #168332 on the side so people could make their own salad if they wished. Thank you
