Let's Dish
This is a beautiful appetizer that feeds a crowd and never fails to impress! It's really more of an idea than a recipe, so feel free to make substitutions and omissions. When I include mushrooms, I like to marinate them in some Italian dressing for a for a few hours first. This can get a bit pricey with all that meat and cheese, so I usually make it for special occassions and holidays.
Who Dished It Up First
Antipasto in Italian means "before the meal." This is the original Italian appetizer.

Thanks to Let's Dish for allowing me to post this recipe under my GUEST BLOG post! This dish looks soooo DELISH! It reminds me of an olive salad that I ate while at an Italian Restaurant. Go check out the other recipes. I couldn't even find one that I wouldn't make! She feeds three boys and a hungry husband! So I'm sure that many of her recipes have been well tested!!!
CHECK OUT Focaccia bread recipe! This would go along great with the antipasto platter.
