Antipasto made very simple.

Antipasto, which literally means "before the meal". 

It’s a combination of small bites, usually accompanied by wine.

It is to stimulate the appetite before digging into the main meal.

With antipasto, it’s always best to keep things simple.

Narrow your choices down to two or three items:

Warmed Ciabatta, Olive Oil, Sea Salt (or dukkah) for dipping, and Olives

Capsicum, Feta & Cashew Dip with Bagel Crisps

Salami, Olives and Sweet Spiced Gherkins

Marinated artichoke hearts served with water crackers and Camembert cheese

Try these simple ideas on for size:

Sliced tomatoes marinated in Italian dressing, with slices of havarti cheese and stuffed green olives
Shaved prosciutto with chunks of fresh cantaloupe and a bowl of mixed roasted nuts
Jarred roasted red and yellow peppers, garlic hummus and pita bread
Roasted almonds, walnuts and pine nuts served with dried and fresh figs in season
