Antipasto Platter

Antipasto or meat and cheese trays are great for any get together.  Especially larger gatherings. I like to incorporate different cured meats with a variety of cheeses.

Genoa salami
Hot capicola
Sopressata
Gouda Cheese
Havarti Cheese
Marinated artichokes (drained)
Spanish olives (rinsed and drained)
Large pitted black olives (drained)
Peperoncini (drained)

Arrange neatly on a beautiful platter and alternate placing cheese between the meat.  Place a bed of firm lettuce leaves in center and add the olives, artichokes, and peppers.  Remove from fridge just before serving.
