The Antipasti Essentials

In Italy, the antipasti course (antipasto meaning "before the meal") is traditionally served to whet the appetite and excite the taste buds at the beginning of a meal. Bountiful plates of salumi, cheese, marinated vegetables and crostini of all types scattered around the table for everyone to enjoy while waiting for dinner to begin. 

Need some antipasti inspiration? Here are 5 easy yet elegant bites to serve (plus how to throw an antipasti party in 3 steps! Just add prosecco.).
