This Antipasto Platter is a no-cook appetizer board filled with cured meats, cheeses, olives, marinated vegetables, and more. Perfect for entertaining, picnics, or grazing dinners, it’s a flavorful, elegant, and customizable Mediterranean-style spread.

Ingredients

  • Cured meats ( salami, soppressata, capicola)
  • Cheeses (mozzarella, provolone, Parmesan chunks, gorgonzola)
  • Marinated vegetables (artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, mushrooms)
  • Olives (green, black, or mixed)
  • Cherry or grape tomatoes
  • Pickled items (pepperoncini, cornichons, giardiniera)
  • Crackers, breadsticks, or sliced baguette
  • Olive oil or balsamic glaze, for drizzling
  • Fresh herbs (basil, oregano, or rosemary)

Instructions

  1. Choose a large serving board or platter with ample space for arrangement.
  2. Place cheeses and cured meats on the board first, spaced for balance and visual appeal.
  3. Fill in gaps with small bowls of olives, marinated vegetables, and pickled items.
  4. Arrange crackers, breadsticks, or baguette slices around the edges or in clusters.
  5. Drizzle olive oil or balsamic glaze over selected vegetables or cheeses.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve at room temperature.

Notes

  • Add grapes, figs, or dried fruit for a sweet contrast.
  • Include nuts like almonds or pistachios for crunch.
  • Make it vegetarian by omitting meats and focusing on cheeses and vegetables.
  • Add dips like hummus, olive tapenade, or pesto for more variety.
  • Use ramekins or small bowls for oily or juicy items to keep the platter tidy.
