Italian Antipasto Recipe

 


I tried my own simple version out on my Italian in-laws and they loved it! This is so very easy and simple. Serve before the main meal. There are a zillion ways to make antipasto, and this is just one way. But try adding in some slices of prosciutto - you know the ham that is sliced paper thin. You can buy it already sliced or ask your deli butcher to use their meat slicer and do it for you fresh.
Servings: 4 - 6
