Antipasto Tray

Antipasto is cool from start to finish. Every ingredient is refrigerated and the prep is quick and heat-free. I love that it's versatile; I throw in things for the adults like artichoke hearts and marinated mushrooms while kid favorites like baby carrots and hard salami fit right in. The kids enjoy the variety of this and I enjoy that it's one single dish to wash!

I add slices of crusty Italian or French bread. Right now we like New York Style® Panetini® oven-baked Italian toasts. They're super-crunchy and really flavorful.

Take a look at the notes below the recipe for other ideas on ingredient possibilities.

This is a quick and easy meal for even a novice cook to put together and give as a gift.

Deli roast chickens are available almost everywhere nowadays. I pass them at the deli counter and then again in heated bins at the check-out at my favorite store. These are good for so many things and a quick alternative for nights when everything seems to be running behind. This is one of the tastiest ideas I have for these birds.

Caraway and cauliflower are a match that brings to mind wursts, kraut and foamy, cold mugs of beer. Alas, not everyone loves that caraway flavor so leave out the caraway seeds if you prefer—the salad’s wonderful either way.
