Antipasto Platter
Description
This Antipasto Platter brings together a combination of sliced cured meats such as salami, prosciutto, and pepperoni; cheeses like provolone or asiago; and mozzarella balls which may be plain or marinated. Accompaniments include marinated vegetables such as artichokes and beans, fresh vegetables like cherry tomatoes and cucumber, as well as olives for added briny notes.
