An antipasto platter is a great dish to share at a New Year's Eve party or to have around on New Year's Day while you enjoy football or other festivities. Here are some ideas for putting together a crowd pleasing platter.
If available start with a colorful base like this rainbow Kale or another large leaf green.
Choose 3 or 4 different kinds of Italian cured meats to add to the platter. If using prosciutto separate it ahead of time and twist it into a bud shape so it's easy for your guests to pick up. (Upper left)
This is fresh mozzarella that I added a little olive oil, chopped parsley and red pepper flakes to. The other cheese on the platter is provolone that I bought in larger slices and cut into chunks myself.
These are red pepper slices that I added chopped garlic, olive oil and salt and pepper to before I added them to the platter.
I also added pepperoncini, marinated artichokes with a circle of olives in the center. Serve with breadsticks or baguette slices alongside the platter.
Enjoy being creative with the ingredients you choose to build this platter for your guests and family. Here's a second platter I made for another event we attended with friends.
On this platter I used a bunch of radishes for the center of the platter. I'll take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy New Year!
