We entertain often, and antipasto is one of our favorite crowd-pleasers. Guests love having their choice of so many delicious nibbles, including pepperoni and cubes of provolone. —Teri Lindquist, Gurnee, Illinois

Perfect as written and easy to customize to your taste.  I make for large groups as there are several lactose intolerant people where creamy dairy dips just won&#039;t do.  Sometimes I just make a small platter to keep in the fridge just to snack on.

Delicious and simple to assemble. Lots of great suggestions in the reviews;  I took the suggestion to add some cheese tortellini  and it was a great addition to the platter. I used Dellalo Sweet Italian dressing. Everyone loved it.

Simple and tasty.  Made it exactly per the recipe, but also added salami.  I think next time I would also add cooked cheese tortellini.

This was awesome. It was super easy and very colorful. I made it for a party of 16 and it was gone! I did use chunk salami and castelvetrano olives also made my own dressing with olive oil, white wine vinegar, parsley , oregano and garlic. Highly recommend!

I made this for a Christmas appetizer and I got rave reviews!  I also added some Italian meats.

Simple to prepare & delish! You can alter the ingredients to your liking.  I used the leftovers on Day 2, tossing with fresh greens for a quick salad!

Loved the concept. Used ths at Christmas as appetizer. I added 1/2 pkg little smokies and 5 oz of 3 different kinds of cheese and large green olives stuffed with akmonds. What a hit.  Nothing left. Thank You for the idea!

I love antipasto but I would add some prosciutto, hard salami, pancetta, or some ham.  Personally, I like this dish without any meat at all.   A variety of cheeses like provolone, fresh mozzarella, other fresh cheese  like feta,  pepperoncini, marinated artichokes, sun dried tomatoes and a wide variety of olives like Greek and green olives like Castelveltrano would be welcome additions.  Castelveltrano olives are lower in sodium and have a delicious mild flavor.  I have not been able to find them pitted at my store so you may have to pit them.Also, I use the marinade from the artichokes as a dressing. :  )

Loved it!  Very simple and made a beautiful presentation on our New Years buffet.  I think next time I'd rather have tortellini as others suggested and maybe leave out the garbanzo beans.
