It’s no secret I enjoy creating and eating cheese boards. So it’s only natural I’m also obsessed with the Italian version called ‘Antipasto’ as well. An antipasto platter is made up of all Italian ingredients. But I’m not telling if a few other things sneak onto your board as well! The thing I love about this type of ‘recipe’ is that it’s just a guideline really. You can make a giant board like the one pictured here. Or you can go simple like we do on a lot of weekends and just make a dinner plate size. This easy-to-make platter or large board is perfect for entertaining. But we also love to scale this down and just arrange a few things on a platter to snack on. Tyler usually does this while I start cooking dinner. During the warmer months we make this Summer Antipasto Platter for picnics. Sometimes I’ll make it at home, but other times I just assemble it on the tailgate while he’s fly fishing. Then we just enjoy a simple dinner by the river. No matter what way you go, antipasto makes a wonderfully easy and fun night!
How to make this recipe step by step
I really hope you enjoy this Antipasto Platter! If you do get a chance to make this recipe, I’d love to hear from you in the comments. Drizzle the oil mixture evenly over each one you choose to use then let sit until you’ve finished assembling. Or refrigerate for 1 day before and bring back to room temperature for 30+ minutes. You can also use diced raw red pepper or roasted red pepper in place of the tomatoes during the winter months. I’ve even done roasted cubes of butternut squash which is so tasty too.
