Master the Art of Antipasto: Tips for Creating a Beautiful and Delicious Platter
Sign up to my newsletter at ==========================================================================
I absolutely love the Italian tradition of starting a meal with an antipasto platter. Your guests can nibble away on delicious little morsels while the final touches are being done to the main meal.
One of the most important things to think about when arranging an antipasto platter is having a variety of ingredients. Try to have variety in colour, texture, taste, flavour and shape. These aspects are all so important to create an interesting and appealing platter.
We also talk about other important platter arrangement principles, such as choosing a starting point, using odd numbers, fanning the ingredients etc.
I hope you enjoy this video and learn some basic platter arrangement ideas you can use when arranging any style of platter.

Antipasto Pasta Salad - Food Wishes
It somehow seems wrong naming a pasta salad after a dish specifically designed to be served before the pasta course, but if this incredibly delicious, colorful salad is wrong, I don’t want to be right. This would be great as a cookout side dish, or add a hunk of bread, and a glass of wine, and make it a meal all by itself. Enjoy!
