Antipasto Bites

italy in a bite

My family just loves Italian food. In fact, when I was young, it was one of the few things that I would actually eat. Being raised in an Italian family, food was always a big part of our lives. And, antipasto was something that could work itself into just about any meal, at any time of year. Because of it, I created Antipasto Bites. You get all of the yummy ingredients that are a part of a traditional Antipasto – salami, mozzarella, tomatoes, olive – all wrapped up into one bite.

You can serve this recipe with easy Bride Soup or a Fresh Tomato Pizza.
