Creating an Antipasto Platter for a Crowd is simple! Follow these steps for a beautifully arranged display:

1. Choose Your Platter: Start by selecting a large serving board or platter. A wooden board adds a rustic charm.

2. Arrange Meats: Begin with the cured meats. Fold or roll the slices and arrange them on one side of the platter.

3. Add Cheeses: Cut cheeses into wedges or slices and arrange them next to the cured meats.

4. Include a Variety of Olives: Place olives in a small bowl or directly onto the platter for easy access.

5. Incorporate Vegetables: Add roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, and cherry tomatoes in small clusters around the platter.

6. Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Tuck fresh basil leaves here and there for a pop of color and freshness.

7. Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze: Just before serving, drizzle balsamic glaze over the platter for a lovely finish.

8. Fill in the Gaps: Use crackers or breadsticks to fill any empty spaces on the platter.

9. Add Optional Elements: If desired, include small bowls of nuts, dried fruits, or fresh fruits for an extra touch.

10. Serve with a Smile: Enjoy your platter as guests arrive, encouraging them to help themselves!
