Why This Recipe Works

We wanted to create several easy antipasti recipes—interesting but not too filling. Using Italian-inspired ingredients for our appetizer recipes gave us a variety of dishes that can be used alone or together as appetizers, cocktail snacks, or to make a light meal with salad and pasta.
